Speaker Cable Question

I have used Audioquest G-2 bulk speaker cable for my atmos height channels. I am using Mogami Quad Core Gold interconnects for my active speakers for the bed channels. I have a pair of rear surround speakers that are also passive. Should I use Mogami speaker wire, the same Audioquest G-2 speaker wire I used for the height channels, or does it not matter? Thanks

It likely does not matter a whole lot, but sticking with the same cables is easy to justify,

Does your HT unit do channel by channel EQ?

Yes, channel by channel EQ

Doesn't matter, but like @holmz said - sticking with the same brand is an easier decision.

If you have some of boys an hand, then maybe try a mismatched set on the main 2-channel side and push a stereo signal though it?

Maybe one can hear it… Certainly if the cables are very long and one has a high inductance or capacitance compared to the other.

But with a movie or some visual stuff playing, the mind is only able to keep track of a finite amount of stuff happening. And the HT side is less stressful in terms of audio needs.

Personally I would keep the L/R/C the same, and not have any chest tightness, but I am a Luddite.
