Hmmmmm speaker cables



   Im getting a Parasound Hint6 and i’ll be in need of speaker cables. The Hint6 will be powering a pair of ML Sequel II’s. Maybe 15’ or 20’ runs.
    I think tne last time i bought speaker cable it was AQ Type4. I had a MusicalFidelity B-1 powering Spica TC50’s.......its been awhile

Don't suppose there is any way to get it shorter OP? You can loose a LOT of bass driver control with runs that long from an amp.. Overshoot by direct coupling (no passive XO) really likes SHORTER cables.. 

If you think in terms of BASS alone.. Not SUB. Shorter and bigger! 3 meters is a push for mixing frequencies in a cable. #10 just for the BASS at 5 meters.. #18-16 for mids and highs.. 25-35 feet..? HUGE ok, pretty big...To work REAL well.. I'd be using SOOW 10/4 OFC NOT OCC and a second run of a silver clad copper (OCC) PTFE weave.. 200-300. usd total..

Do you think the lenths should be the same regardless of one really being shorter. The real lenths are 25’ and 35’
I like that,”be a sport”.

well my speakers arrived today, i did a few hours of dialing in and they sound wonderful, things can only get better.
For quality/budget speaker cables I am a fan of Blue Jeans speaker cables. They offer several choices for the base wire used (including Canare 4S11) and you can have them terminated in your choice of connection. I am a fan of the cold welded locking banana plugs or spades. They are high quality and reasonably priced and you can order them in what ever length you need.

If budget is less of a concern something like the Kimber Kable 8tc or 12tc would be my next choice. I picked up a longer length of used 8tc cables and I have been very happy with the subtle improvement over my DIY cables that I have since gifted to a friend.
After using Stager Sound, Anticables, Morrow and Cleardays, I've found Audio Envy to be at least as good as those, for less money.  I have a set of AE SP11 that are overall neutral, with great clarity, but perhaps a smidgen on the "warm" side in my tube system.
