Long Run of Speaker Cabling

Hello, AGon Folks -

My setup dictates a long run of speaker cabling (about 18') from my Conrad Johnson Premier 12 Mono Blocks to my Vandersteen Quatro Wood speakers. Though not ideal, there is no other way that I'll arrange the placement of my components. 

If anyone would care to give a recommendation for replacement speaker cabling (18' runs) that would do well in this setup I would appreciate it very much. I would like to stay with Bi wiring.

My components:

Vandersteen Quattro Loudspeakers

Van Den Hul Teatrack Biwire Speaker Cable (to be replaced)

Conrad Johnson Premier 12 Mono Block Power Amps

Conrad Johnson Premier 16LS Preamp

Sota Star Saphire Turntable with Benz Zebra cartridge

Conrad Johnson HD3 USB DAC

Innuos Zen Mk. 3 Streamer

Stealth PGS interconnects exclusively

Thank you,

Randy

Before spending the large amount it will take to acquire a more "premium" cable you might consider spending about $180 total to purchase two 18' runs of Canare 4s11 "Star Quad" speaker cable from Blue Jeans Cable.  It ends up being 11 gauge as I remember.  It has four individual 14 gauge conductors withing each jacket and two are combined within each spade or banana to result in 11 gauge per side.

If you end up not liking the cable you are only out a modest $ amount.  You will find a good number of accolades and users here for the cable.
