    Go for the Furez, great wire for the cost.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    Hey Everyone. I haven't been around much. Super busy.

    How do we get the discount on the Furez?

    Also I don't know how much wire I need. I have a room that is approximately 23.5 x 20 and I'm putting together an 11.2 home theater.

    I hope I didn't break any decorum by posting this. If so, my apologies, Afterburnt.
