Need 20 - 25 foot spk cables.


Having to move a pair of Sound Lab M2's to a new position in the home.  Problem is that the equi rack has to stay where it is.  So I will need 20 - 25 foot cables.  Real high end will be above my pay grade.  I had used in the past real honest to goodness, belden coax in 10 foot runs.  Roger Sanders had used this years ago with his speakers and ESL amp.  I have a ESL amp and to be honest for many years the coax sounded pretty good, but I'm sure I could do better for a long run.  Any comments appriciated.

Not sure of your price range , but I am overjoyed with this company's cable design .
This is their lowest price 12 gauge from their best-price vendor .

To be fair, I am using a more costly cable and short , but with their patented geometry . Much better than the AntiCables I used before .

The OP needs a pair of 25 foot cables.  That is a 26 foot roll and the last one they have.

Interesting, that the description section below, states it is 35 ft.

but then again a long run of preamp to amp cables would be pretty pricy as well.
Not true. I am going to run long interconnects (maybe 20-30 feet) and I do not expect to spend too much, somewhere from $100 - $500. I also do not expect to suffer in sound quality with the lower cost interconnects. I tested this scenario out with some Benchmark gear (which supports the balanced AES48 standard) and I could not tell a difference between expensive Audience Au24 interconnects and cheap Bryston XLR (Canare?) interconnects.

Running long speaker cables has been something I was told by a few manufacturers and dealers to avoid. I will get a high end short speaker cable and a much lower cost XLR interconnect between the preamp and amp.
