Long distance from amp to speakers

My situation (i.e., my wife's strong wishes) requires me to have my amp, preamp, etc. about 30-35 feet from my speakers.
I know this is NOT recommended, but I have to live with it.
I have recently upgraded the amp and preamp (Ayre K5xe and V5xe)and thought I should try to do something about the speaker cables. I've been using Monster cord (nothing special)runninng to Vandersteen 2ce's bi-wired.
I would be grateful for any suggestions to minimize the sound degradation because of the long distance to the speakers. What speaker cable should I look into that won't break the bank?
Thank you.

As long as it doesn't introduce noise, you shouldn't be able to tell the difference. Years ago I had a 40' run of AQ Crystal in a bi-wire configuration & had the cable cut down to smaller sections when I was able to reposition the gear. I didn't notice a difference.

Ayre works very well with Cardas & in fact they use internal wiring by Cardas.
