Surround Speaker wire Recs - WAF need


I have gone home theater route in my old (60 year) house. We are having remodeling done and my installer tells me the only viable place is along the baseboards. I need a good and fast recommendation for this. The wire needs to be unobtrusive. Have three runs of about 45 feet Thanks. Richard

Get up in the attic, carefully measure which studs you need to be between, and raise and drop the wire through electrical outlet sized holes. You can use cable tv outlets to cover them. No attic? AudioQuest makes a very flat wire that's supposed to sound good on long runs from Audio Advisor. Have your remodeler put a 3/4" mortise bit in his router and rout a dado in the back of the molding just deep enough to hold the wire. No problem.
kitch29 is exactly right. The mortise behind the molding is not only the easiest solution but since it is only behind the moulding it remains accessable if you need to add/change wire out. You may need to go to a little taller moulding then before. If you are worried about nail protection then run 3/4"EMT conduit in the dado and pull the wire through it. This is a common problem found on most older homes or homes without access to the attic.
You can also buy home theater speaker radio transmitting and recieving units. I don't know how their sound quality is. This means you don't have to run ANY wires. Radio shack also sells ones to transmit Video ! This means you can send the outputs from you cable box to several TV's in your house. You need to buy receiver's for each tv.
Many thanks for the recommendations. I don't have an attic or basement and no space to run above the ceiling. Therefore the idea on the baseboard is perfect. Ordered the stuff from Audio Adviser should be here today. Thanks for the fast responses. Richard
