Matching cables to center
afterburnt
Posts: 7,892
I broached the subject in another thread so this is redundant. If I buy a pair of matching cables and IC's to run my center that would leave one each for my other system thus I would need another pair to do the L/R on the second system and I would have the front 3 on both systems with matching cables. So two more pairs of cables and IC's I would have everything matched. Is this really worthwhile?

that may have not been clear. one cable and one IC for the main system leaves one spare cable and one IC. So if I get another pair of each I can have both systems with matching cables across both systems L/C/R

I hate the fact that companies don't give the option to buy 3 cables for the front 3 channels. And really hate that I have to buy 2 pairs to make it happen leaving 1 unused.2 channel:

Some cable companies offer the option of special ordering a single speaker cable for center channel use. AudioQuest does and Monster used to. I haven't bought Monster in a long time, so I don't know if they still allow single cable orders.

Is it worth while? I think it is. My reason is the front 3 in a theater should sound and react the same. Having matched speakers, speaker wire and Interconnects all play a part in achieving this goal.
As said already, Audioquest sells single cables for this purpose.Dan

Now you know why we sell our custom cables as individual cables. Sometimes people want a set of 3, or just one cable. Just choose the number of cables you needseabeerob213 wrote: »Just talk to doug
