Of course, it depends, too, on the diameter of the wires. My Vandersteens are
bi-amped, so that's four 1/2 in. diameter Kimber cables running to each
speaker. Try stuffing that around the edge of the carpet!
Fortunately, I live in a house with a full basement, so I can run all sorts of
wires from below. And I don't mind at all boring holes in the floor and
cutting slits in the carpet. Anything that meets the WAF is permitted.
And what do you good folks across the pond call quarter-round?
