What gauge wire? [message #71688]

I'm going to be running speaker wire in a new house. No single run will be more than 35 feet (those would be for back surrounds). I'm trying to decide if I should get 14 gauge or 16 gauge wire for this.

I'm leaning toward 14, but the thicker the wire is, the harder it is to work into connectors on the back of my receiver.

Any thoughts on this?
