Speaker Cables - 15 Ft. or "No Wife"


Due to the W.I.F.E. factor, I have to run my Manley 300Bs with 15ft speaker cable to my Coincident Super Eclipse speakers (the things we do to stay together). So, I am looking for a good speaker cable that: A) Will sound great at this 15ft length and B) Will not cost me more than $1000. I have to biwire, so please keep this in mind when making recommendations. And a D.I.V.O.R.C.E. is not an option... yet!

JC - Here is an off beat idea. You know that many of the finest drivers use aluminum wire in their voice coils. There are quite a few feet of wire in one voice coil. For very little money you could try aluminum wire. Its stiff but what the heck. If it sounds good you could pass on the information. If it sounds bad you've wasted almost nothing and had an interesting experiment. I would recommend trying 12 gauge.
I've had good luck with 20 foot runs of UltraLink Excelsior 2.4 Bi-Wire cable. Good looking, well made, and good sounding, for a non-insane price. I run it from a Sugden Au51P to a pair of B&W N804's in my living room system.

I dissent on the Coincident speaker cable. I've tried both CST and TRS, and neither turned my crank.

Question, why do you have to biwire? Israel Blume doesn't think it offers any benefits in his speakers, so I'd bet running single wire with good jumpers would do it all. I use a pair of Total Victories single wired in my main system, and I'm not missing anything.
check out the new soundstrings. the price is not that different for longer length.

good luck.
