Does High End In Wall Speaker Wire Exist?

So I'm in the process of reconfiguring my system after a recent move. My plan is to run a 25' pair of speaker wires through the 1st floor joists from my Sophia 3s to an equipment cabinet across the room. I'm trying to achieve a very clean and uncluttered look and avoid having anything between the speakers. With that in mind, I'd like to use in wall speaker wires that will do the Sophia3s justice. Any recommendations? Less than $7k please.

Thanks guys - those are the three I started with and checking with the A'gon body of knowldege for additional options. I just took a look at the space in the basement and it is 1/2 exposed floor joist and 1/2 finished with a 1 foot air gap. Wonder if I really need in wall rated speaker wires?

I agree with Tubeking that conduit is the way to go.

It allows you an opportunity to change wires should you ever decide to change speakers, and the wires that work well now, don't with your future speakers.

My two cents worth.

PS I'd go with 2 inch conduit if you can. That allows you to use most cables, no matter what the thickness or stiffness.
í-AAGood Luck!

No, any in the wall speaker cannot provide high quality sound.
