Speaker Cables : Moderate priced

I am about to embark on upgrading speaker cables ( long over due ).  Currently use Tributaries 12 awg UL copper cable.  I need a long run for one speaker ( about 20 feet) and this has impacted the budget.  I hope to spend around 1500 dollars.  Looking for a musical tonally rich sound.  I am not a detail nut.

Looking at the usual options:  triode Wire, Audio Art Copper, Ice Age, Luna cables to name a few.

Wonder what the crowd has experienced in this price range; and open to new suggestions.

Audioquest type 4, otherwise Auditorium 23's. They are , believe it or not, very similarly built/designed cables, the latter costing three times as much.

Just to clarify;  I am unable to move the components closer to the speakers.

This is due to spousal limitations in the placement of furniture etc within the room.

I agree with yyzsantabarbara ,if you can find on the net used Audience Frontrow, they truly are impressive cables. They sound warm,detailed and very live ,true to the ears experience.

If you’re looking for musicality, Duelund Coherent Audio makes both 12 and 10 gauge tin-plated copper in oiled cotton that sound great for the money. Pair with some rhodium-plated connectors and you’re in business. The $1500 price point won’t be a problem.
