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.

If your system is on the first floor and you have a basement under it, you can mount the amp on a platform in the basement just under the speakers any run a short run of speaker wire to the speaker through a small hole in the floor or baseboard. You would run a long interconnect cable from the pre-amp to amp.

I've never used this setup myself, but I've seen it mentioned here a few times.

Enjoy,
