In Reply to: RE: Don't step on those speaker cables -- TRIP over 'em! posted by Brian H P on April 03, 2015 at 14:56:55
Prior to finishing the room, I had everything mapped out - planar speaker placement by Cardas' formula. I ordered my speaker cables accordingly. I found happiness with my Maggies further from the front wall. Placing them ~9' out meant that I had to run the cables more directly than intended. I'm careful enough, but I'm still only in my mid-fifties.
Here's a shot of the removable panels behind the equipment, beneath which are three dedicated outlets.

Hey Wazoo, I missed this post, till I was showing some things to my other half. In the basement I did, I ran 2 dedicated 20A circuits. Also worked with a stereo geek, who duplicated Cardas flagship speaker cables for me (circa 1989). Still use them.
As an aside, I got into hi-fi in college. In 1972/73 our dorm room had Tympani 1s, and a pair of Infinity 200As. The Maggies were powered by a big SAE, and I'd built HK Citation 11/12 as my first foray into the higher end. Had a Dual 1210 table. We lived large.
I've owned Phase Linear (replaced by Carver equipment) and SAE too. I can check the Dual 1210 box too - it replaced a Perpetuum Ebner 2016 that met with an accident. I'm sure lots of us can look back and smile about gear like that. I've never had Tympanis, though.
I found the photo with the panels removed - last time I unplugged everything and made things tidier. If you look closely, you'll see one of the mistakes I made when cutting the vertical pieces. By the way, the rug covers a window (beneath the rug is 4" acoustic foam) forced on me by building code. I assembled the cabinet in place and it is screwed to the floor.
