I have 22 foot speaker cables that go under my floor to the speakers across the living room. The cables are 12 gauge and I was told by the manufacturer of the cables (Groneberg) , the manufacturer of the amp (McIntosh) and the speaker manufacturer (Golden Ear) that 12 gauge is overkill and would support up to 70 feet without any loss.
