So, my REL subs are upfront near my floor standers. Would there be any concern about the vibration of the subs next to the mono blocks? I’d put the 601s on small stands which would help, but I’m sure the bass energy would still cause the amps to vibrate. Maybe it doesn’t matter for amps?
Long interconnect or speaker cable
My room configuration requires that my rack is off to the side of my speakers. This means I need to run 20 feet of speaker cable (Wireworld) from my Mc mono blocks. This makes high end speaker cable cost prohibitive.
I was thinking I could move the amps next to the speakers, have short higher quality speaker cables, and then a long run of moderately priced XLR interconnects from my preamp.
So, all things being equal, what’s better for SQ, a long run of lesser XLRs or speaker cables?

I chuckle sometimes that we are so obsessive about cable length. I agree that the longer run should be XLR whenever possible. If it makes you uncomfortable to have a 20 foot run of XLR between your preamp and amp, note that in live venues they run hundreds of feet of this cable, sometimes all the way to a recording van outside. Even in studios there can be 100+ foot runs of XLR. I have never seen one of the master recording engineers express a concern about XLR cable length. |
