Reasonably priced, well matched speaker cables



I'm looking for some recommendations for speaker cables to use with 4 B&W Natutilus 805s + 1 HTM2. Because I'm going to need a 40ft and 30ft length run for my rears speakers, price is a concern, but I don't want to I'm willing to use different cables for my L+R main channels however which will be 12 ft; is this a bad idea? Should the center match the L+R main?

The speakers are all driven by a Rotel 1075 multi-channel amp. 25% multi-channel music, 25% movies, 50% 2 channel audio.

Anyone have an opinion on Silver Sonic T14 line?

Thanks.

I started with Transparent MW100s on my mains, then I tried SignalCables and I couldnt tell much of a difference. Now I have moved to Analysis Plus oval 9 shotgun biwires and yes they are better, but only by a small margin. SignalCables product was outstanding for the money.

I still use Transparent MW100s on the center channel.

For the rears I needed a long run, I used 2 50' spools of OTC Monster cable for these. I added some nice spades and bananas. I am just fine with this setup.

I listen to multichannel SACDs fairly regularly. I dont feel the cheap surround cables give up that much.

I would recommend, especially since you like 2 channel, that you put most of your cable fund on the main L/R. Something like 60% front, 20% center, and 20% surrounds.

Just my 2 cents
Call Joe DePhillips at Discovery Cable. He has some wonderful cables at affordable prices, and will work with you to "customize" lengths, terminations, etc. You will be pleased.
I have a *very* similar system with *very* similar requirements, and I chose the Audioquest GR-8 cables. For the money, you can't beat them.
