50 foot cables?


Hi, I need two 50 foot cables for my stereo. (Amp is Rogue Tempest tube and speakers are Audio Physic sparks.) Does anyone have recommendations for something affordable? Ideally less than $500, if thats feasible.
Thanks a lot!

I would use Canare 4S11 speaker cables from Ram Electronics.  A 25 foot pair with termination will run you $139.00 for the pair.  These blow away my $1500.00 pair of speaker cables. 
@ tuberist,

"Even 25 feet long is crazy and IMO probably will have some negative sonic effect."
I have been using 25 foot long speaker cables since 1992.  Let me assure you their is no sound degradation.  I spoke with McIntosh the manufacturer of my amp and was told there will be no sonic degradation of sound.  I checked with my speaker manufacturer(s) and Sandy Gross from GE told me there is no sonic degradation of sound, lastly I have a EE degree and know there is no sonic degradation of sound. 

My speaker cables are 11 gauge and 25 feet is nothing for a 300wpc solid state amp.  I wonder where everyone gets their information from?  For fun, I moved my speakers next to my amp and tried 5 foot cables and trust me, there was no difference between them and the 25 foot pair of the same cable.   If there was, do you think I would have 50K of equipment in my listening room if the cables degraded the sound?
@millercarbon,

learn how to read, I know it is hard but you can do it.  Please show me where I said to coil the rest of the wire.  I’m waiting..................
