    Thanks Barry
    I made up some 60cm speaker leads, which should work for my set up, once the stands are built.
    The beauty of such short distances is you can use more exotic speaker leads and the cost is still very reasonable.
    I used Atlas Bi-Wire but configured it for single connection.
    It has one pair of single strand, meant for HF/Mids and one pair of multi strand meant for Bass.
    I twisted one of each type together and put it into a single "Z" plug.
    A couple of users have said this arrangement sounds better than just using the heavier grade Atlas Hyper 3.5mm or 5.0mm multi strand.
    A used unterminated piece came up on the Bay, so I thought I would try it, though I doubt such a short length is going to make much difference.
