Speaker Cables?

The best cable I have found for long runs is the Cardas Neutral Reference, unfortunately, not cheap. There is apparently little loss of signal unlike the monetary expenditure. But if you can swing the change, I would try a set. Jeff

By the way if it matters it is strictly for Home Theater use

For home theater you can sometimes find great deals on MIT T2, T3 or T4 from Audio Advisor, or try membername Joeabrams for some good deals on MIT. Transparent is pretty much esoteric cable & the prices aren't excatly home theater friendly though.

HT only? Nordost's cheapest Flatline will be better than what you're using by a long shot, AND allow you to bury it under the rug. You really shouldn't spend any more on cables unless you upgrade the source or speakers first, IMHO.

If you want a commercial design. Kimber 4TC is pretty good for the price. If you have the desire to build your own you can save some money using JR's Belden 89259 design.
