I've sorted a little system for my niece using my Q Acoustic 2010i speakers and an SMSL t-amp.

She has £10-£15 for some speakers cables; ideally Van Damme blue as it'll disappear into her blue bedroom carpet

2 x 1.5m lengths would be ideal!

Does anyone have any spare before I buy her some from Amazon or similar?

Thanks

Is it terminated currently? All it needs to be is standard banana plugs etc

Sounds like what's needed!

They should be alright I think... Probably better to travel up the stands with more slack!

£15 for them delivered?

She's loving it! Terrible taste in music though, but she is only 14 haha :rolleyes: :D

She is very much enjoying Walk off the Earth though and Pink Floyd! Can't quite get her into Jethro Tull though... Or System of a Down :lol:

I am reminded of some comments made by the late Peter Walker of Quad, who when asked what was the criteria a speaker cable should satisfy, replied "Well, there are only two requirements that need be satisfied: first the cable should be long enough to reach between the amplifier and the speakers, and secondly, the colour of the cable insulation should be such it matches the colour of the carpet over which they run". ;)
