I recently purchased the Onkyo HT-SP908 Home Theatre System (7.1 surround sound). It consists of:

- TX-SR605 Receiver 90 watts min. continous power per channel

- speakers: 2 way closed type, Impedence 8 ohms, max. input power 110 Watts, Frequency Response 60 Hz-50 Hz

The system sounds great though, at times, the center speaker tends to get static when someone screams or a loud noise is on screen while playing a DVD movie. I am using the original wire that came with the system (real thin).

Questions:

1- Is the speaker wire too thin and doesn't have the capacity at high volumes (starts getting static at Vol. #80 - range is 1-100)?

2- If I need a thicker gauge wire, what gauge should I get (my longest run is about 30 ft.)?

3- Is it worth getting "Monster Wire" or just a good premium Radio Shack wire. If so, what gauge/type?

I appreciate any help.

Thank you
