Short speaker cable recommendation


Wondering if any one knows of a great speaker cable for really short application. Will be running from balanced Quicksilver V4 monoblocks bi-wired into Vandersteen 5A's. Could be as short as 12 inches. More likely 18".

I have been using Audioquest in the past. Their shortest length for any model appears to be 4 feet.

Any manufacturers offering wires this short? If I need to build them myself, any suggestions? Thanks!

Ok, forget everything you think about tinned and stranded etc.....this wire will destroy past understandings. Really. No connectors is by far the best! Please just use bare wire if possible. Give it all 30 hours before comment!
Second Grannyring on his suggestion; don't over complicate this simple task. Just go naked!
Mikirob and Grannyring I put a order for the belden. I was told it could take 7 to 10 days to receive them . I am looking forward to trying them. I will post my thoughts when they are run in . Also I laughed when you informed about the Cable company prices on the WE-16 guage wire. Thanks again
Good for you Oldcar63. You are open minded and that will work to your great benefit. Please let them run for at least 30-50 hours as they will sound closed in and bright at first. They will end up open and so wonderfully natural sounding!
Ok, so I couldn't resist overcomplicating it. Since the wire is tinned anyway, I do not see how soldering a set of pure copper spades to the wire would negatively affect the sound. If anything, soldering the tinned wire may provide a better connection to the underlying copper. I convinced myself it will be much easier dealing with spades than trying to twist all those connected double run wires together...and four wires to each amp binding post.

I am going to let them cook for a day and then hear what results. These will be replacing a double run of HT Pro 11+ with hydraulically crimped on Furutech pure copper spades that actually sound great. With the recent changes to my system, I will be (very pleasantly) surprised if the WE wire can make it sound better than it does now. I will let you all know.
