Have a TEAC system running Mission 771s with quality cable.

Is it possible to connect cordless/infared and do away with the speaker cables as the wife hates them running all over the place. Is the sound quality OK

Any help appreciated.

simple answer: NO

complicated answer: GET A NEW WIFE

We have wood skirting boards and I've added 3x1" trunking covered with wood effect fablon. Sounds tacky but it looks fine and shuts the wife up.

Edited to add, it must be good because it hides all the cables for a 7 speaker surround system, with bi-wired floorstanders up front. And the chunkiest pair of scarts in the world to the tv.

what would scooby do

aye if you got white skirting, use that white plastic trunking.

Nothing you can do about the "snakes wedding" near the amp etc unfortunately..

swap the skirting for the dual profile stuff and run the cabling behind it.

The round/profiled stuff with the profile at the back just gave me enough room for 2x biwire qed flat for the fronts, the scart/rgb for the tv and the qed silver for the centre on my Home Cinema, so for 'just' speaker cable, you should be laughing.

Guys

Thanks for the help, will sort out the skirting board.

Getting rid of wife not an option too expensive.

Ixos make flat cable which is sticky on one side for running under the carpet. I have mine running either side of the carpet gripper, wouldnt now it is there at all. Ok for surrounds would use it for centre or fronts.

I need to get my rear speaker cables across a double doorway, and we've got hard flooring - any suggestions?
I've though of going up the wall, through the ceiling in the corner, and then back down the other corner, but I'll need some pretty long cable runs and don't want it to look too messy...
