Audio cables for older McIntosh equipment?


Hey,
I am hooking up some older McIntosh equipment:
(2) MCD2505 Amps
(1) C28 Pre-Amp
(1) MR71 Tuner
(1) MCD7007 CD Player
I have Joseph Audio RM 25 speakers.
Wondering what everyone thougt would be a good choice of cables for this set-up. I am bi-amping and need to run about 200 feet of speaker cable with the 4 runs. I am not sooking to spend a fortune either. More interested in what audio cables to try out.
Thanks,

Brian

Wait, you want 200 FEET of cable, and you don't want to spend a fortune? Looks like you will be using Rat Shack wire, not that there is anything wrong with that per se, but your length is going to seriously reduce the number of choices available to you. I doubt most high-end cable companies will stock 50' runs, and you will not be able to sell them on the used market. Have you considered going with longer interconnects and putting the amps closer to the speakers? You *might* find 50' interconnects once in awhile...
The back of your 2505's won't allow for a very big spade to fit in the barrier strip. My suggestion would be to use the 12 gauge wire from Radio Shack and get their pin connectors to crimp on the amp end of the wire.
To Drrdiamond: Did you read Brians post? He wants to know about some wire and you respond with how your circa late 1980's Krell blows away late 1960's Mac. Now there's a fair fight.
Beleave it or not, I first had the old Mac gear with a Classe CA 300 amp. I loved the way it preformed. I then pulled out the Classe and added in the 2 old Mac's. My first reaction was, holy s#$t, this sounds sloppy. After leaving it hooked up for a while I really started to enjoy the sound. The best way to describe it was very tube like. After a week of listening, I have decided to keep it for a while. I am really starting to LOVE it, can't explain why. I can listen for hours on end, no fatigue at all. Oh well, maybe if I put back the Classe I would change back to it. For now though, the Mac's are staying.
