Sonus faber Musica,and Guarneri


I recently purchased a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri speakers and Musica amp through Audiogon. I need some help with my cable selection. One of my speakers is about 20 feet from the amp and the other is about 10feet. There is no way I can rearrange the room. What should I do? Thanks for your input

Hi, I envy you for having such a nice speaker. I dream of Guarneri. Anyway, you should use 20 feet cable to keep symmetry. Otherwise, the balance can be distorted. Regards,
I agree with Kazu. Absolutely keep them equal lengths. The question of what speaker cable to use arises. It would be nice to have a shorter run but since you need 20 feet you need some decent cable for such a nice and truly sweet sound. I would look around for which speaker cable seems to have the best numbers and then listen to the different brands seeing which you like the sound of most. Nothing is neutral. Then consider your wallet and get the one yo like best that is in your price range. I wouldn't spend more than 10% of what you spent for your whole system on all the interconnect and speaker cable you need for your system.
Sonus Faber works well with Sumiko OCOS cable. Sumiko claims that the design of the cable is such that unequal lenghts will not have a negative effect on imaging. I've used OCOS for years and am very pleased with the results.
