I used to sell home audio equipment and always reccomended my customers spent 10% of the home theatre budget on wires (posibly b/c i made 15% commission on all wires). Nonetheless, I do think they make a significant difference (more so for video connections then audio, but still).

It would help to know the room setup and also the size of the speakers to determine an appropriate gauge. Generally you want to have a thicker wire to carry sufficeint current to large drivers, or over long distances. I'd also reccomend you get something highly shielded to reduce any type of interference.

One thing I've learned is that sound is very subjective, and where I notice differences, many people can hear none. If you're not very anal about sound quality, save your money.
