Does anyone know if the included speaker wire is high quality? What guage is the speaker wire? Thanks in advance!

The included wire is quite thin. It doesn't seem to adversely effect the sound quality but could be replaced with a thicker gauge. I am completely pleased with this system. I did a good amount of research and this one easily bested the competition. I would buy Denon again!

Mine came with 18 guage. I bought 100 feet of 16 just for the heck of it, but the 18 probably would have been fine. The system itself is pretty nice.

Honestly i bought 100ft of replacement wire in-case the included wire was garbage, and now i have 100ft spool of wire UN-used in my closet. I'm not saying the included wire is better than what you can get somewhere else but so far the quality seems to work fine. (I doubt anyone would hardly hear a difference in a better wire but to each his own). However i will add that they did include quite a bit of stock wire which is nice.

I don't know the gauge of the wire but it doesn't seem to be high quality. They're very basic, but I already anticipated that and bought some wire separately for about $30. Heres what I bought and it works great: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EADB2Q/ref=oh_details_o09_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes it comes with speaker wire I don't remember the length and gauge of the wire though. The speakers can be mounted and come with mounting accessories.

You only 16-18awg wire for these speakers. No bigger gauge is necessary. One thing I look for is Oxygen free copper wire, I've had great success with that. Here's a link. - Mediabridge 16AWG Speaker Wire (100 Feet) - Spooled Design with Sequential Foot Markings - (Part# SW-16X2-100-CL )

Garrett- I went to a local stereo shop and bought a high quality speaker wire. But any speaker wire will work. The better the quality the better the sound though. Hope this helps.

You can use 14 or 16 AWG speaker wire. I used 14 AWG plastic coated wire from Monoprice. Copper wire is best. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?seq=1&fo;rmat=2&p;_id=2791&kpid;=2791&CAWELAID;=1329459423&CAGPSPN;=pla&catargetid;=320013720000063196&cadevice;=c&gclid;=CL7F3MGko8ICFdKEfgodOIkARA

The kit comes with a coil of zip wire. I purchased and used a heavier guage. You'll need wire-cutter pliers and stripper pliers. The speakers have spring loaded insert connectors and the amp has standard post and finger-nut insert connectors. Each speaker is wired separately to the amp and connected to its marked post connectors (positive and negative) on the back. The wires will be distinguishable by gold or silver color, a white stripe on one wire or ridges molded into the plastic insulation on one wire so you can distinguish positive and negative.

I'm guessing it's in the range of 75-100 feet but is truly a joke in terms of diameter of the speaker wire. At the very least this is one area where you'll want to upgrade to a larger gauge of speaker wire. Other than that for an entry level system I'm thrilled with it.

I installed the wire last summer. Used 98+ ft from a 100 ft roll, ceiling mounted Bose 901's. Sound is exceptional. Cable was very flexible and certainly appeared to be all copper. Both positive and negative cable lines are copper colored but the positive is given a continuous red stripe. I have some similar cable used in an auto installation (14 or 16 GA) that is also all copper colored and very flexible. The positive line is identified with repetitive + + + +. It is pure copper as best I can tell.

Nope. I bought,Mediabridge 16AWG Speaker Wire (100 Feet) - Spooled Design with Sequential Foot Markings. Speakers sound wonderful, one I mounted then up on the walls.

It does not come with wire. Few speakers do. But, there are two terminals available for attaching (soldering) leads to the audio source. This is a heavy duty speaker with a significantly sized magnet. Be sure your application can accommodate the large magnet.

You can use thin speaker wire but you'll need a good bit of it. Or, I found an extension on here. It was hard to find but it's only $9.99. It's 2 meters, about 6 feet. I ordered it on a Thursday and got it the following Wednesday. I recommend taking the time to find the extension because you won't be taking the chance of messing anything up. I'll try to find it again and give you a link. Found the link. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008VL2PZS/ref=mw_dp_sim_ss4?pi=SX125

The included speaker wire is not very long (the surround is 25 feet) and junk anyway. Get some 14 or 16 gauge. Don't waste money on overpriced garbage like Monster, go look at monoprice.com

I use 16 gauge for mine and the sound amazing. From my understanding, the longer you have to run the wire determines how thick you need but if is just for your bedroom 16 should be perfect and pretty cheap. I use 100 feet RCA 16g and it works perfect and is cheap. EXCELLENT choice in speakers!!!!! Enjoy

I like 16awg speaker wire.it match my home theater installation,i like the big gauge.talk to the guys that do this for a living,they say all three are good.

In my recollection the wires are directly hard wired into the speaker side. They would require some type of splice though they are bare wired with spring posts on the stereo side. Really thin wires at that. Possibly 22 gauge or smaller.

I had this issue too. I resolved it by swapping out the speaker wire. I bought a $10 roll of Pyle 16 gauge speaker wire and havent had a problem since - that was 2 years ago.
