Thanks guy's for the great advice! My wife wants all the electronics in our den, but I don't want to run 50+ feet of speaker cable to my OB-1's in our living room since I am sure this would degrade the signal. I am looking to purchase some small mono's and I will run long interconnects back to the Krell. Thanks again for your help.
Do long interconnects degrade sound?
I recently moved into a new home and I would like to use my Krell 400xi intergrated as a preamp for my main speakers in my living room (PMC OB-1). The Krell has a preamp out. Currently the Krell is powering my main speakers for my plasma in my den. In addition, my source is also in my den. Ideally, I would like to use the Krell for both applications which would mean that I would have to run extremelly long interconnects from my amp in the living room to the Krell in the den. I know XLR's would be best for long runs, but is 50+ feet too long for interconnects?
