Need 20 - 25 foot spk cables.



Having to move a pair of Sound Lab M2's to a new position in the home.  Problem is that the equi rack has to stay where it is.  So I will need 20 - 25 foot cables.  Real high end will be above my pay grade.  I had used in the past real honest to goodness, belden coax in 10 foot runs.  Roger Sanders had used this years ago with his speakers and ESL amp.  I have a ESL amp and to be honest for many years the coax sounded pretty good, but I'm sure I could do better for a long run.  Any comments appriciated.

Thank you everyone for for the info and replies.  I agree with many, and have mixed feelings about others.  Yes short is great agreed, and I just spent a good ampunt this past spring for 10 foot of a high end brand of wire.  No, the poer amp can'y ( easily ), be moved.  I'd have to pay to have a new outlet installed.  I'm not sure about long runs of cables from the preamp either, but I do have balanced outputs, but then again a long run of preamp to amp cables would be pretty pricy as well.

Roger Sanders actually says that the coax cables actually are a good match for a panel type for speaker.

Wire is funny stuff.  You see so many ads for expensive wire, all with what they call the "best" method of construction.  Does anyone know for sure.  It's all up to each persons ears.
