40' speaker cable..will I loose sound quality?

Thinking of running a second set of B&W 805's off my Harman HK3475 to the far end of another room. It will be a distance of about 40'. Any advise as to expected diminished sound quality if any. Hate to purchase 80' of cable to find the sound is not up to par.
Thanks

Those who are forced by necessity to run longer length (20'+) cabling may experience superior results by using a networked cable design - re: MIT or Transparent.
I had to do this myself & found that a better-grade MIT speaker cable performs marvelously in this application.

And I'd stay away from networked cables--they're as liable to exacerbate the problem as anything else

That is an absolutely incorrect statement.
