Without a doubt put the amps by the speakers and use long interconnect runs. It will sound amazingly better and certainly save a ton of money vs doing it the opposite way. Depending on what brand of speaker cable you get and at what level it is, many people generally get longer lengths for the ability to resell. You may only need 3 or 4 feet, but again, depending on the cable and particularly if you think this is not going to be the last set of cables you’re going to own, then you may want more like 6-8ft lengths that will be easier to sell to a broader range of people.
Shorter speaker runs or shorter IC Runs...Which is the better set up and why?
Hello all!
So I am setting up 2 Bryston 28b Mono Amps and I would like opinions on which is a better way to do it? Should I place the amps close to the speakers with longer XLRs/shorter speaker wire OR longer speaker wire with a shorter XLRs and why? I think I know what conventional wisdom says but I am looking for the best option.
Thanks in advance!
