If the present speaker wire is nothing but some kind of parallel
conductor zip cord, you have a good chance of fixing the problem by
replacing it with a twisted pair geometry cable (no shield or ferrites
required). I've used Audioquest FLX-DB 14/2 with good success with a
hi-fi system located literally underneath my antennas on the roof. You
can get it at Crutchfield, or probably many other outlets, at a fair price.

OK... so I am knee deep in assembling and installing a subRX, et al.,
but got reminded by the XYL that I STILL have not addressed the signal
bleed into the audio system via the long runs of parallel conductor
speaker wires in the HT setup.
In order to maintain a high "SAF" (Spouse Acceptance Factor), I need
to deal with this issue WHILE I am in the attic re-configuring the
network and routing various shack related wiring.
I cannot imagine a stellar group of operators as are gathered here
have not had to deal with this before. <grin> I am hoping that
replacing the speaker wire with either simple twisted pair (or
shielded, twisted pair, w/shield properly terminated) will mitigate
the hits the HT system is taking.
*Q: Do any of y'all have recommendations for a particular wire stock
for use in this application?* Small system... only about 50W per
channel on the 5 main speakers, so they don't have to be monster-sized
conductors. I considered using CAT-5(+) wire and bonding all 4 pair
to a single loop, but I don't think a single run would be enough
copper (?), and I don't want to make multiple runs per driver.
*Any ideas?*
