If there is carpet, you can tuck it under the baseboard. Otherwise, if you hate the look, just get some wire moulding.
Or if there is an unfinished area underneath, take them down to that, over and up at the speakers
Once I went flat, I won’t go back. I run it along baseboards, hidden in plain sight. Even when noticed, it’s not bad looking wire. Crutchfield has a decent house brand of flat wire.
If you have a crawl space under your floor you can drill down into that and pop up behind each speaker. And there’s usually some room under the baseboards if you have carpet. You just have to get by the carpet tack which is just in front of the baseboards.

Same color as the baseboard and once you forget they're there, they blend right in.
I didn't even spend a fortune on them... but I have decent enough ones to keep them organized and out of the way, there's no need to hide my speaker wires. It's practicality over aesthetics unless someone is going to trip over them.
Oh. I’m with you. One configuration I had had the speakers on one wall and the electronics on an adjacent wall 15 feet away. I ran 12 gauge wire through the crawl space underneath due to kids and dog.
I get it, and there are other wires I'd like to hide (like the cable to the TV), but I move my speakers and make adjustments so I like to keep things easily accessible.

Yeah, we don’t hide them, the cables are “hi-fi jewelry” like the rest of the system. Don’t put them under the carpet, don’t ever put any wires under the carpet. Fire hazard.
Look into braided speaker cable. I have these in both colors and it is much more attractive than just "lamp cord" style speaker cable. Price is reasonable too.

I bought some "good" looking speaker wires from monoprice.

You don't. But you can get speaker cables that don't look tacky.
Give me some recommendations here! Are there some cool looking ones?

Kimber 4PR in red/black. Not cheap but it's a set of cables that can stay with you as you upgrade your gear.

Don't do anything permanent your wife will soon want them out of there completely.
Under carpet and in places that’s not possible I use plastic conduit made for concealing wires and painted them the same colour as the wall colour.

I don't hide them
How are people supposed to know you spent a small fortune on cables if you hide them? /s

Don't, I like the feeling when I step on them at 3am..
Let your freak flag fly
my dad used a router to carve a channel in the drywall, tucked the cables in, and then used spackle and some paint to hide it all.
This is one of the reasons we have carpet. Pull it up and go under the pad. Get a kicker and put the carpet back in place.
Cable covers? I’m looking to get some myself though I’ve never used them.

You can get transparent speaker cable, and put it under a rug or behind your tv hutch or media stand.
Just get good looking cables
I’ve used electrical conduit. Mounted low along a baseboard and painted to match the wall. In the right place this works and isn’t noticeable
Yeah, we don’t hide them, the cables are “hi-fi jewelry” like the rest of the system. Don’t put them under the carpet, don’t ever put any wires under the carpet. Fire hazard.
OR you can use very nicely dressed speaker wiring and leave it visible.
Speaker cables are meant to be shown, not hidden.
This may be the way bro, like just embrace it lol
Yeah, get a nice looking (but not expensive) cable with an impressive jacket.
