Bulk cable for 40 ft. runs


I am currently using Monster cable for my rear speakers in my HT set up, but would like to get something better. I can't afford to buy any finished cables because the runs are so long. I am guestimating that they are about 40 ft long, as I need to run the cables around the edges of my room to keep them out of the way.

Is the Canare or Kimber Kable bulk wire better than the Monster, or are all bulk wires about the same? I have seen the threads about using wire from Home Depot, but I want something a bit prettier I guess. I will solder on terminations myself (I think my very basic soldering skills are up to this task. :-) )

I'm a big fan of the Canare 4s11 and 4s8, especially for long runs where the StarQuad geometry has some at least theoretical advantages but I'm not sure how much difference you'd be able to hear on rear surrounds, or if it matters enough to spend the money on that rather than on more music or movies. It's visually unobtrusive, though, very flexible and available in either gray or black.
