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.

I've seen MIT in wall speaker wire.

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

Conduit is a great idea, then I would run the new Kimber 12tc, unterminated, to the speakers. That would sound, very nice, I think.

Speaking from experience, I would have put extra in wall conduits in. That way if you wish to change the placement of any equipment you have the options. You can always blook them off with blank wall plates or similar.
Good luck, John

Just replied on the other thread titled "hi fi in wall cable"

I tried the new Kimber 12TC - and it was good, but not able to handle the 25ft of in wall length I had.

The best solution I found was to use the remote sense capability of the Spectron amp (I did this with unused coaxial video cables).

Particularly in monoblock mode, the results were outstanding - almost as if the 25ft of speaker cable completely vanished!
