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

A couple of suggestions:

  • AudioQuest Rocket 88 Speaker Cable - 20 Foot, Bi-Wire, Pair
     
  • The best Anticables bi-wire you can afford

The cheapest 12AWG OFC is the best stuff you can use. 14AWG would do just as well. Don't do something foolish like buy some uber expensive boutique cables that people claim will sound better. They won't.

I agree with several others on this subject that the Canare 4S11 oxygen free cable is the way to go and make 'em up yourself with banana plugs or whatever you need. I run two 14 footers without a hiccup from my system. Performance audio in Utah can sell it by the foot or premade at a higher price. Good service and quick shipping.

I agree with square80 and not purchasing boutique cables.... spend your  hard earned money elsewhere...they ain't that significant.
