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

Thanks for the responses. I currently use Van Den Hul Teatrack Biwire Speaker Cable. Can't say there's a specific improvement I'm looking for but rather am looking for an "overall" improvement. Some opinions I have gotten in the past are that Van Den Hul Teatrack is not that great. I'm sure there are better options out there, I just don't know what they are.

Budget for the pair is $3,000.

Thank you!

 

ghdprentice -

I just looked up the Transparent cables you suggested. Very good-looking cable and 20' Bi-wire options within my $3k budget. Care to share which one you're using?

Thank you!

Soix - Thanks for another great recommendation and the link to make for an easy lookup! Yes, a tad over budget but a VERY GOOD prospect!

 

Thanks, all.

Hi, Mike - Long length due to the unchangeable location of component's; speakers in living room electronics off to side in small hallway. My wife does not want the living room looking like a stereo room. Electronics (amps) need to stay where they are, and cables run under the floor.

It would be nice to have another room, a dedicated listening room where this would not be the case...

Thanks, all!

Appreciate all the responses of options to look into. Exactly what I was hoping for! 

 

joeycastillo,thank you.

"wherein my amps where on the right wall instead of being on the side of the speaker" Very same situation for me. Furthermore, a lot being mentioned about Transparent cables in this thread, building a very strong case for the brand.

Thank you!
