Hey John,
nice setup mate can see your having lot of fun with it and enjoying the choons...which is what it's all about.
i use twisted Cat5 as speaker cable and it's the best I've heard with my speakers, even over some pretty daft priced stuff too.
Stuff wot I use is this....

Something to think about to think about when your doubling up the Cat5?
