Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables

Hi, 

I find myself ina situation where I need around 15ft cable pair. Currently I have blue jean Rca cables running. I have upgraded all the other cables and this is the final frontier. Online it is pretty tricky to find used cables of this length.. I see transparent reference cables mostly, which I learned are custom tuned for specific gear.. 

Looking for suggestions from the community on options that will provide SQ upgrade in my situation through speaker cable change..

@mitch2 I am expecting that with a better cable I will get more tonal density, perhaps openness and sound staging. With B&W I am planning just copper since I have heard silver can increase harshness. Ultimate goal is to get warmer yet detailed and punchy sound.

its all a crap shoot....the only way to know if a cable benefits or hinders a system to your liking is to try them in your system.  Try to buy with an option for return. I had B&W 800's or 01's. which tended to be bright.  ,,,,have Vandersteens now.

I just upgraded to Canare oxygen-free copper, which is designated 4S11G, possibly the best speaker cable made. It replaced some temporary 12 AWG power cord to the bass panels. There was a minor improvement.

Moral of the story - don’t spend big on cables expecting a big improvement. Spend on components. IMO  YMMV
