If you can run the cables around the edge of wall-to-wall
carpeting, normal cables would probably sit well next to the
tack strips.

I plan to do that on one side. The problem is that the room is L shaped
in I have to cross the long part.

I've been told that running speaker wires under a rug is a fire hazard.
I found that surprising, given the low power, but there you have it.
The reason given was that it doesn't take much power to cause a spark,
once the insulation has been worn through by foot traffic.
Can anyone confirm or deny?

| I can't see this - unless you have the wires hooked up to a Krell. There
are flat wires made for this purpose - I wouldn't use a normal "round" insulated
wire.

| I'd guess that this is a legend, partly due to the common practice of
using zip cord for speaker wire. People DO run AC extension cords
under rugs and that is a fire hazard.
