I built a pair bi-wiring speaker cable this afternoon. Just for fun, because we could not tell difference between single wiring and bi-wiring on RTi70. And I do not have to wonder how can bi-wiring improve the sound any more:D
The bulk cable used here is Belden 5102UP (4*14 AWG, 30 feet + shipping =16$). Why I'm using those cables is that bluejeanscable also sells Belden 5000 series cables. I believe the quality of bluejeans and Belden:D. I got those bulk cables from www.westlake-electronic.com (NO AFFLI.), they sell Belden and other cables for cheap, cheaper than bluejeans and other websites. And the shipping is also reasonable. They sell Canare 4S11 Cable for 0.63/foot, bluejeans sells for 1.05/foot, markertek.com sells for 0.69/foot but they charge handling fee. This is a good place to buy bulk cables. The wires at homedepot are not cheap at all
The banana plugs used here are from Radioshack and ebay.
I don't know if there are problems using those cables for bi-wiring...
