    Lorraine, i use round tins as are available from auto audio
    installation firms. they are generally given free and come in sizes
    for all speakers - so from 6" diameter to 20" and some are imprinted
    with the onkyo brand..they make it easy to coil and keep the wire
    stored airtight so that you can place 3m's anti-tarnish strips inside
    the containers and save time in removing it later..works well for me-
    I detest the appearance of plastic bags and have so many filing
    cabinets taking up room that I can't bear to even clear out the ones
    that have been accumulating paper and ephemera since only 2005
    (hurricane Katrina helped me rid myself of 30+ years of paperwork so
    it's a relative downhill battle though as paperwork is prolific in
    itself!) to add wire or dedicate one to its storage seems strange to
    me- as i prefer to keep it coiled if small, and straight if large (in
    screen printing fabric or masque tubes)..and anti-tarnish strips are
    my friend so a closed container is apropos. rer
