Why buy separate and expensive cables for home theater? What's wrong with the ones in the box?
My stereo consultant guy from a major chain spec'ed $900 in cables and power management for a "basic" system (the lowest end) which was about $500-$600 more than I thought I needed, but I don't have a lot of knowledge about what is in the box or whether it is "crap" as he says it is. He said they won't install with the manufacturers' cables. Ideas or suggestions?
Answer:
It's probably a little of both: there probably is more commission on accessories than components; for long runs of speaker cable, in a basic sense, it is beneficial to go will larger gauge.
I suggest going with a 14-gauge speaker cable and a moderately priced power outlet conditioner/surge protector. Parts express has some good choices in bulk high-quality speaker cable as well as some decent AC line conditioners. I see you could do it all very well for under $500 total.
My choice for the line conditioner is the Chang Lightspeed CLS 305 (I had the older version of this model for several years with superb results), but if that's too much, you can still get a good one for under $200. The better the home theater is, the more sensitive to higher quality accessories will make to the sound and video quality.

_ He's playing on your fears. You know what the profit margin for accessories is? About 4x more than the equipment you bought. Use the cables that came with it for now. From what I understand expensive digital cables(DVI, HDMI etc.) mean NOTHING at all and are the exact same as their "cheap" counterparts.
