I started out with the RM10 Series speakers and used 16 Ga wire to hook everything up. I now have the RTi Line ( Rti10's CSiA6 and RTi4's and an SVS Sub ) Should I upgrade my speaker wire to 14 Ga or 12 Ga ? I have a Pioneer SC-35 on the way to replace my Denon AVR 888. I know Monoprice has speaker wire for good prices and I delt with them before. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I would purchase some 12ga wire from monoprice.

    Longest length to my back surrounds after running along the wall etc would be aprox 35 Ft if that matters.

    Ok thanks guys,I thought that 12 Guage wire would be the recommendation. And Monoprice seems to be very good overall with good reviews on their speaker wire.
