Okay, I've read the many and varoius heated and tedious threads on whether cables make a difference and here's my two penneth.

I've just moved house and to my horror discovered that my (bi-amp) cable run is now 1m too short. I priced up a 6m double run of QED silver anniversary and nearly fell over. Then, on the advice of a friend who'd tried the same, I shelled out £11.85 in B&Q for a 25m roll of 3 x 1.5mm multstrand copper mains cable, twisted the three conductors together and terminated with some decent plugs. As bass cable it sounds absolutely great (clear, extended and very fluid) and it's a really nice shade of blue. Much better sounding than the old solid core Cyrus stuff I'd been using before. I'd be interested in the experiences of anyone else who has tried this approach.

I've now got to make a decsision about the tweeter runs - any thoughts (constructive only) on conductor dimensions for this application would be appreciated. The irony here is that having made some cheap cables, I now think they CAN make a difference. The difference just doesn't vary monotonically with price !
