Logically I would probably go with what is more cost effective and an eye on the future or heed Elizabeth's suggestion. If you ever change rooms or configurations, it might be hard to get rid of a 6 meter interconnect. Also, at this length, I personally would want to use a balanced interconnect. If my gear did not accept balanced interconnects, I would probably just go with the longer speaker cables.
Long ICs versus long speaker cables
I've described my listening room in several previous posts, but basically I'm working with a huge 14x40 space, half of which is my listening area and the other half is an open kitchen dining area. I would like to keep my rack along the long wall and move the speakers back to the short wall (currently I have a nearfield configuration).
My question is: would it be better to purchase 6 meters of speaker cable or a 6 meter IC?
I think I have read here on Audiogon that some amps/preamps, like Shindo, have issues with long interconnects. I currently have Cardas Golden Ref. speaker and IC cables. The Cardas speaker cable is too bulky and inflexible for such a long run. If long speaker wire is the way to go I was thinking of either replacing the Cardas with Audience Au24 or Auditorium 23. I'm open to other suggestions. Thanks!
