Hi Arkprof - I had to take my Rotel receiver in for repair (it is still under warranty, luckily) and the cheap Sony receiver I am using in the meantime only takes bare wires, so right now I installed some bulk Synergistic Research speaker wires. I was going to compare the AudioPath silver speaker cables with Cardas SE-15 cables, but both sets have spade ends so I will have to wait until I get my Rotel back before I can A/B them.
I haven't figured out how to use the Sophia with my HT set up :-o ; Jim of Sounds Real Audio is going to stop by after I get the receiver back to help me optimize this set up. I really should just use the Sophia until then, but somehow, I seem to be watching more TV/movies than listening to music, so I don't even have my Sophia attached right now. (Please forgive me, Audio Goddesses!)
