When I redid my system a couple of yours ago I had the same issue. I run a BAT 75se and a pair of JM Lab Mezzo`s with a pair of 30ft do to small living arangment`s. I purchased a 30ft pair of Audioquest Mammoth on closeout prices. Audioquest continues to update their product line on a regular basis. I think I purchased a no frills deal at like 40% of list from audio advisor. Could you imagine what a 35ft pair of Nordost, Purist Audio,Transparent would cost??? Do a goggle search on audioquest closeout. Zu is another small company with reasonable price`s. Keep in mind I would not have Audioquest in my system if I only had a 8ft run but that not my case 30ft is what it is. I run acoustic zen silv ref II on all my interconects. Good luck in your quest David.
Questions/Recommendations for Extra Long Cable Run
Without investing in significant interior redesign, my new listening room will require me to use a very long (appx. 35') run of bi-wire speaker cable for one of my Avantgarde Duo's (the other will be a more normal length, probably 8'-10'). Will sound quality suffer noticeably when using such a long cable run? If yes, then i'm on to plan b. If no, is there general guidance you can give as to what i should be looking for, or better yet specific cables that i should consider? Or should i just find something else to worry about and pick the cable that I would have otherwise chosen for a normal length?
need one standard length (appx. 10') and one very long run (appx. 35') pair of bi-wire cables. This will be used with a pair of Avantgarde Duo's and a BAT VK-75 amp. Do you have a suggestion on what I should consider? Am I crazy for even thinking that sound quality will be ok with that long a cable? I have used T-14s and Nordost Solar Winds with this setup, and both are acceptable.
