The OP is clearly on a budget. Maplin's

will do fine for most domestic speaker runs.

Except for one small thing...

That cable at Maplin is 69p/metre, for 79-strand.

Gale XL-105 at Richer is 79p/metre. 105-strand OFC.

The Gale cable *will* sound better. For another 10p/metre. I don't think
that's going to break the bank.

As will the interconnects that come with the equipment.

cough

I think not. I would suggest the OP tries a £10 Atlantic interconnect
from Richer Sounds in place of the free rubbish that comes with equipment.

In fact, if Richer are quiet, they'll probably do that demo for you in
store. If you can't hear a difference, stick with the freebies. But I'm
sure you will hear a difference.

Money saved on not buying snake oil products can then be spent on
better speakers.

Yup, so no point buying anything from Russ Andrews then. :-P
