Time to replace the old Yamaha avr

It occurred to me that she should upgrade her lampcord speaker wires while doing this. She needs a total of 20' non terminated. Anybody ever satisfied with some from Amazon, or would a trip to Best Buy do the same?
I was going to recommend the wire I used last time I built a set of cables, but it seems like Monoprice discontinued the wire.
It was a pretty good deal at $39 for a 25' spool. Now they just sell terminated versions and they are advertising them as 14AWG and not 12AWG like the stuff I bought.

At this point, I think the Canare 4S11 (or 4S11G) is a better recommendation, especially if you want un-terminated. In fact, I may just buy a length and do another set since I have exactly 8 Audioquest silver coated copper spades left from a bulk purchase about 18 years ago.

"Does this amp have PFFB? I am guessing no." Actually the WiiM Ultra does have it.Yep, my name really is Bob.
Parasound HCA1500A(indoor sound) and HCA1000(outdoor sound), Dynaco PAS4, Denon DP1200 w/Shure V15 Type V and Jico SAS stylus, Marantz UD7007, Polk L600, Rythmik L12 sub. -
You might also consider WiiM's earlier WiiM Amp or WiiM Amp Pro, which are priced a fair bit lower ($300-$380), but those models might have all she needs. They are about half as powerful as the Ultra, and don't have the fancy touchscreen, but both were well reviewed a few years ago.

Question is, will 60wpc into 8ohm or 120w into 4ohm be enough power? I think the difference between the Amp and Amp Pro is an improved DAC in the Amp Pro along with better cooling and the addition of PFFB in the Pro.
