Electrician's opinion??? - 02/13/07 08:15 PM
My electrician was in yesterday and I wanted to rewire my office with speaker wire in the walls to clean things up. I was wondering if anybody could give me their opinion on the following scenario -
Situation:
My opinion:
I wanted to have one central area where the 990/7700 is located so that all of the speaker wires could be attached to banana plug jacks on the wall. Firstly, I would use a three foot length of speaker wire to connect via banana plugs from the 7700 to the wall jack. Secondly, I would use a wall jack to wall jack. Finally, I would connect another three foot length of speaker wire to each of the 7 speakers. In this way, it would be clean and the wires would not be visible other than the 3 foot lengths at either end.
My electrician's opinion:
Rather than have 6 connections (two, 3 foot speaker cables with banana plugs on both ends) and (the wire in the wall with both ends) connected, he said that a plate on the wall with a small hole in it allowing the wire from the end to be directly connected to the 7700 and the other end directly connected to the speaker would reduce the number of connections from six to two and thereby reducing the resistance at the same time.
What do you think?
