The one in Chicago is massive. The store here in Atlanta and I assume in Troy are about the size of a Gamestop. But still a much better selection than target etc...

Funny thing is I am very skeptical about expensive cables. I upgraded my HDMI cables and noticed a pretty big difference when playing video games in 3D, and watching Bluray. Then someone told me about upgrading the powder cable to the PS3 and tv as notable differences. That is why I am nervous to move the receiver so far from the tv. Next is some sort of power conditioner/surge protector.

yup all true! if the shit didnt make a difference these companies would not be around. I have been using high end monster cables all my life, but for the new set up im going audioquest.

I need to come up with some sort of nice but frugal speaker wire.

Not these, lol.

Get a cheap soldering iron and make your own. Most of the botique cable manufacturers buy their stock from the same distributors, which is available for pennies per foot compared to what finished cables run for. Be very careful when cable shopping, theres more snake oil out there than anything else. With cables, high price doesnt mean high quality

Heres one of the better cables for speaker cables: http://www.markertek.com/Cables/Bulk...M.xhtml?4S11FT

Some spades to terminate: http://www.markertek.com/Connectors-...DELUXE-SPADE-B

And finish with your choice of Techflex and heatshrink
