Hey guys I was about to order some 10 gauge blue jeans speaker cable and I was wondering if the bare wire will fit into the binding post of my RTI 70 speakers and my Harman Kardon avr235. Thanks guys

    They have these great ways of terminating cables now a days, bananas or spades. Great fit and no worries about oxidation.

    10 ga is overkill. 12 or 14 ga wire will sound just as good, and it'll be easier to work with.

    After I saw this thread, I decided that I'm going to go with some Blue Jeans speaker wire, too. 40 cents a foot is a pretty good price, and I'm sure it'll beat the crap out of Monster.

    what will be the difference in Blue Jean Speaker Cable and RCA Speaker Cable? How much of a difference will we notice in our system? I use the RCA Digital Cable now, but until a few days ago had older speakers and it did not matter much if you know what I mean...Thanks!

    Only you can determine that fact, as opinions vary on this side of the fence. They, BJC, utilize a money back satisfaction program, so you really have nothing to lose by finding out for yourself.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
