Speaker wire, what should I buy?



Speaker wire can be very subjective. Many audiophiles believe speaker wire can make a tremendous difference in the quality of sound achieved with your stereo music system. ZillaAudio.com believes this is true to a degree. We feel there is a diminishing return on your investment. What we have done is select what we feel are the best wire and cabling options for your home stereo needs. Our direct burial outdoor speaker cable is ideal for outdoor use (especially with our excellent outdoor speakers). ZillaAudio direct burial outdoor speaker wire is run from the inside of your house to the outside. It’s thicker than other outdoor speaker wire at 14 gauge so long runs are not an issue and its waterproof properties protect your wiring from rain, snow and flooding. This quality, rugged outdoor speaker wire is buried under your lawn, runs hidden thru your bushes and protects your investment. ZillaAudio also has a great selection of regular speaker wire for your home stereo too. Stranded 12 gauge copper wire may be the best sounding wire regardless of price. You can go thicker or thinner but 12 gauge is regarded as ideal for audiophile applications. 12 gauge gives you the fullest sounding bass response without losing any midrange or treble detail. Going thicker, for example 10 or even 8 gauge can mar the high frequencies. Going thinner 18 or 20 gauge for example, may reduce the powerful bass notes but provide great highs. All wire is a tradeoff so before spending too much to gain nothing or even lose, consider our 12 gauge, copper stranded speaker wire as a high end alternative to expensive brands like AudioQuest, Cardas, Vampire Wire and others. With our wire you will save money and hear all the details hidden in the pits of your CDs or the grooves of your record collection. Our flat speaker wire is perfect for running in places where you can’t get inside walls or just don’t want too. Run flat against the baseboard or against the trim and enjoy a nearly invisible look without the extra construction expense. The sound is great with this cable too. And finally, our four conductor (4C) cable is designed to run inside your walls and ceilings. We use it all the time to connect your amplifier or receiver to volume knobs throughout your home. Many of our volume knobs are made in the USA and work perfectly with this architectural cable. If you have any wire or cable questions for your home stereo needs, don’t hesitate to contact us at www.ZillaAudio.com

Consider adding sound in your next landscape garden design


Adding sound and music to your garden landscape design is easier than ever! TIC and Dayton make great looking rock garden speakers that disappear into your garden design. Once positioned all that needs to be done is run wire to a stereo. I recommend using direct burial speaker wire. It can be buried or simply run thru the garden without worry about shocks or fire hazards. To view more outdoor rock speakers check www.ZillaAudio.com and contact our speaker guru, Jeff Feith.

Ceiling speakers for your basement and the rest of your house.

If you have a basement where children play you know how easily things can be broken. Many of my customers have been replacing their more traditional stereo speakers with ceiling speakers in their basements. Why? Because they are totally out of the way. Ceiling speakers sound great. The three sizes we carry at ZillaAudio.com are 5-1/4 inch, 6-1/2 inch and 8 inch models from Dayton Audio, Goldwood, etc. represent the best values in the industry. Compare to other well known brands (for example, Bose, Klipsch, Polk, etc.). Our ceiling speakers are selected for their excellent sound quality and durability. Our ceiling speakers are favorites among hobbyists, contractors and DIY'ers all over the world. Getting your speakers out of the way in your basement also allows you to take advantage of maximum space. This is true for the rest of your house where space is a premium. Ceiling speakers can be used anywhere. In your bathroom, den, kitchen, living room, etc. without upsetting layout or using space for unwanted speaker cabinets. Ceiling speakers at ZillaAudio.com are highly recommended for their performance and durability. If you have any questions about installing ceiling speakers or running wire to ceiling speakers don't hesitate to contact Jeff@ZillaAudio.com.

Outdoor speakers for your backyard.

There are so many outdoor speakers to choose from, rock speakers, indoor outdoor speakers, waterproof speakers, patio speakers, pool speakers, speakers for your deck, landscape speakers, omni-directional garden speakers, stone speakers, wireless speakers, etc. When I speak with my customers I always ask them "How will you listen to music at your house?" Are you entertaining large groups or quietly enjoying your Jacuzzi? Oftentimes, mistakes are made when buying outdoor speakers. If your backyard is large, scatter outdoor speakers throughout. If you have a small area, like a hot tube or small patio, setup your outdoor speakers close by so you can enjoy intimate listening without having to turn up the volume. If you have any questions about installing outdoor speakers, running wire to outdoor speakers or want to discuss the best solution using outdoor speakers, your garden design or garden landscape at your house, contact our outdoor speaker guru, Jeff Feith at Jeff@ZillaAudio.com.

In Wall Speakers offer convenience and performance!


Everyone loves good music in their home but not everyone loves large speaker cabinets cluttering up their living space. ZillaAudio.com has an excellent selection of quality in-wall speakers that sound amazing. They are a great alternative when you do not have space for larger speaker boxes. Perfect for home theater, wall speakers mount in front, behind and on the sides, out of the way. Some customers use wall mounted speakers throughout their entire house. In wall speakers can be connected to multi-room stereos, whole house stereos or individual systems. Their ability to hide away unnoticed until music is turned on makes them very flexible. Great for new home construction, in wall speakers mount out of the way leaving room for decorative touches. Contact Jeff@ZillaAudio.com to discuss your next in wall speaker project.
