Guidance on Speaker Wire

I’m looking for guidance on some speaker wires and have tentatively settled in on Transparent High Performance 10-2 with the Transparent 10-2 Brick Network.  My biggest issue is I have long runs from my amps to the speakers at approximately 60 feet each.  Due to size of my system it is not possible to move my equipment any closer to the speakers.  
My amps are 1.2 KWh McIntosh Mono’s and my Speakers are Martin Logan Electrosatic ESL 15A’s. I also have 2 Martin Logan Force 12” subwoofers that are used for home theater. 
Thanks!!

I'd recommend that you purchase Mono Amps & place them in close proximity to the speakers.

This would enable you to use SHORT AMPLIFIER Cables (Ideally 3 Ft. or less) & Long Signal Cables, Sound Quality of which are not significantly dependent upon length & can be purchased for a much smaller $$ figure, than Power Cables.

Assuming you are a true Audiophile, this will give you the best SOUND Quality you can get under the circumstances you present.

Looking back, I see that you have some sweet Mono Amps, just figure out how to get them close to the speakers.  If you have a basement, the Amps could go there?

Stay with Transparent.
All cable brands sell bulk cable to hi-end custom installers. The cables will pull easier and withstand the physical abuse of retrofit wiring.
Good luck.
At least: No more feedback!

Have you read any of the threads about Canare 4S11 around here? There are owners raving about this very inexpensive wire and you should be able to get custom lengths made for comparatively little money.
