12ft -- the length alone may not be the "perfect" solution. The wires are about 10/11 years old.( Hexlink came out first the "c" was added in 91-thereabouts) If it were me,I'd be looking to score a shorter length / of maybe a newer model. I had these in a similar length; and biwired/ A single run of a different cable mfg.at 1/3rd the price,(only 5ft) sounded, /actually better.(6years latter) Your circumstances may be different.Can't remember the price when new/as I also bought the ics and got a package deal.I'm sure they were at least a grand /maybe more.
