| Re: Speaker wire question? No. That's not the wire. I couldn't see Onky supplying wire of insufficiant gauge. Stay clear of Monster. It sounds like the noise your hearing is the speaker distorting. If its a problem, turn it down. If your dialogue comes across well, you could lower the volume on your center a bit. If I watch at high volume, I tend to drop the center volume. It gets too harsh in the center.
