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.

Several thoughts.....first, no one should give you advice about your marraige...that is inappropriate. If you had asked for help in deciding between your wife and your amps, that's a different story. I have tried several solutions for long runs and came up with this- long run of Belden LC-1 shielded interconnect from Blue Jeans cable + short run of Spelz anti-cable speaker cables. Second best- any short excellent interconnect of your choice + long run of Canare 4S11 twisted wire speaker cable. I have done both in two separate systems and have found that the configuration depends on your components. You will have to experiment, but it will not be that expensive (yet!). Good luck!
