Almarg is correct. And you should have no difficulty finding 15' runs of interconnects - there are almost always a lot of used long interconnects available at any given time on Audiogon (and they're usually cheaper than speaker cables, which use a lot more conductor).
Long Cables w/Short Speaker Cable or Vice Versa?
Assuming your equipment (other than power amp) is located a considerable distance from your speakers (15 feet), which is better:
(A) Long Interconnects with a Short Speaker Cable run; OR
(B) Short Interconnects with a Long Speaker Cable run?
Ideally, I want to seperate my McIntosh MC2301 monoblock amps so that they flank both sides of the cabinet built-in's that are on both sides of my fireplace and TV. Even if I put the amps together (in the left-side cabinet built-in), I will have at least a 15 foot run of speaker cable to reach the right speaker.
I have a decision to make on whether I should invest in a long run of interconnect OR speaker cable.
Thoughts?
