I am still using my K400 for the centre speaker and would like to use a meter of this stuff but you cant get a meter on its own unterminated. Does anyone know what would be a comparable substitute. I cant terminate at the speaker end as there is no space behind the centre speaker so need to go through the binding post from the bottom.
Oh and forgive me I havent posted in a while probably in part to great purchases like the Black mambas I tend to just listen and have finally given up on upgrade ittis

I have had some BM cables for a few years now. I put them in the system and they are still there now. No messing about any more - these do exactly what it says on the tin.
I got mine from an outfit called something like Greenhome Electroncis in Berkshire -
Jeez what a mammary I have

I called them a while back and he only does the 2.5m pair (bought in ready made)due to hand problems cant terminate cables easily. I may just buy a meter length of studio grade 6mm Van dam as its not a lot of dosh.
