Question about Speaker wire for Pioneer (EU version) VSX-LX50 receiver (newb)

Hi guys,


I plan on buying the VSX-LX50 receiver. Before I buy this receiver though, I want to buy the wires etc first and install them, so once I get the speaker in house, the only thing I have to do is plug the wires into the receiver.


Pioneer VSX-LX50: http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/4...X50/index.html


I have 100watt, 6 Ohm JVC speakers (5.1) that I plan on temporarely using with this receiver until I buy newer and better speakers. Probably 120watt or 130watt speakers.


I need the speaker wire to be at least capable of 130watt, the receiver itself can output 150watt.


I plan on buying the wires over the internet. I prefer them all to be the same length, about 7 meters. So 7 x 7 meter cables. I even want my center speaker to have a 7 meter wire, even if the distance between my center speaker and receiver is less then a meter. I just want all my speaker to have the same quality (I am kinda hoping that you guys will change my mind on this though, all the wires having the same length I mean).


Like I said, I want high quality wires, but I don't know a thing about Wire gages etc. I tried to do some research on the subject, but it is pretty overwhelming to me. The gauges are confusing, and then there are supposed to be parralel wires and twisted wires? What is that all about?


Searching the internet for wires, I came across this one:
http://www.kabelsenmeer.nl/Producten...ekerkabel.html (sorry, it is a Dutch site, but you should still be able to understand the wire's specifications)


It is a 2x2.5mm wire, and the manufacturer is 'Tasker'.

It doesn't say much else though (at least that I understand of). I don't even know if it is copper or not.


Is Tasker a good wire company?

Is this wire (Tasker C276) enough to get 130watt?

Is the wire in the link crossover or parrarel? Does it matter if it is the one or the other?

Which speaker wire's do you guys recommend for 130watt speakers?


Please guys, I need your advice.


Thanks,

Tekka

1. I have no idea what your references to hz are since it is not a relevant wire parameter. Do you mean watts?

2. The lengths, of course, do not have to be equal but there's no harm in it except for cost.

3. I have never heard of Tasker and your link does not work for me.

4. You are overcomplicating a simple issue. 2x2.5mm wire is entirely adequate and obtainable from many, many sources.

Yeah sorry, I meant Watts. I'll edit that right away.

Which brand of speaker wire do you recommend?
Looks fine. I do not recommend specific wires.
