Mark Levinson HF-2.5C speaker wire

I just moved to Prescott,AZ and a new house. I am trying to improve the poor acoustics and sound in my living room by putting carpet over the wood laminate flooring & moving the speakers so they play into the length of the room rather than across the width of the room. This means that I have to increase the length of the wire used for the left speaker. Unfortunately the Acarian Systems Alon 4 speakers are tri wired. Right now the system uses the wires listed above. I would like to find the same wire in used condition if possible. The option would be to just wire the entire system in14 guage Monster cable. I would need about 141 feet. I wonder if I did the latter would I hear any difference in the sound by using an inferior wire?

FYI, Not necessary to tri-wire. Bi-wire (split tweeter and mid-bass) will give the most benefit. Then use a quality jumper from midrange post to bass post.
Another alternative is using a single wire to start (and jumpers to the other posts). If this doesn't satisfy, add another run and see if things improve.
