I’m going to have my LSiC and LSi7’s closer to the ceiling, when I’m done with my remodel. What would you all suggest as a way to run wire as discreetly as possible?
I live in a rental that doesn’t have the option of going above the ceiling, and I don’t want to take the time/energy of going through the walls, or using a fish (I said fish, haha) to go from point a to b.
Ideas?

Who I believe is Indiana, as am I, correct?
Thank you Herm. -
Yes, go rob him of his cable hiders!

I don't know what brand he uses, but I remember seeing them on his wall in some pics he posted years ago.

We bought a house, so I went in wall for the most part.
Cable raceways in general work great. You can get them from most places online or stores.
I'd recommend using either 12 or 14 gauge speaker wire, specifically in-wall rated kind (it looks good as its circular and easy to lay down)."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

what is the best size wire for speakers 40' away from my amp, see I have back speakers to make my stereo sound full- the room is alive.

Thank You

I use 10 AWG speaker cables up to 50 feet but 14 AWG or even 18 AWG would be fine also for surround speakers in my opinion. There are various charts that can be found through a Google search that provide somewhat consistent recommendations for speaker wire sizes.

Amps times volts equals watts.

I know that the 705's have four port holes in the back, can I use the other two that are open to plug my two wires in / for my 703's, that I am adding on or should the wire go some were like my amp? I do not want to mess up my 705's.

No, don't do that. The two sets of binding posts are for bi-wiring (cables with one + & - on the amp end and two + & - on the speaker end) and bi-amping (using two separate amps and external crossovers).
