I read an article some time back about fancy speaker wires. Turns out that
what is used in the big buck sound studios is..... regular two conductor house
wire such as 14/2 Romex from Home Depot. As long as it is sized properly to
carry the current you are good to go. Some care need to be taken with routing.
You don't want to make long runs right next to regular house wiring as you
might get some cross talk.

I beg to disagree.
thicker wires will have less signal loss, less interference, and will
result in better sound quality coming from your speakers.
Running cheap wires will adversely affect sound quality. Now, if you've
got cheap ass speakers, then it's not an issue, but what if later you
want better speakers? the walls are open. Spend a few bucks and run
decent wires.
Oh, and the speakers you should have for a decent home theatre system
are as follows:
Left front
Right front
Center channel
Subwoofer
Left Rear
Right rear.
Just an FYI.
