Speaker cable for 25' run flat/small for under carpet ??


I would like to change my room configuration so that I can sit further away from my speakers. This will necessitate changing out my 8' pair of Audioquest-8 bi-wires (8' long). I'll need to run them under carpeting to hide them. I hope to find a bi-wire pair 25' long that are at least as good as the Audioquests. I'd consider any/all, new/used, but "good value" would be welcome. Associated equipment:

Cary CD-303 player
Sim Audio I-5 integrated
McIntosh MR-77 tuner
Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Monitors

Many thanks!

Nordost can get very expensive in those lengths. I think their red dawn cable is quite good. A big advantage of nordost cables in general is that they don't seem to suck power like some cables. I find I use less gain with nordost verses other cables. A consideration since you are using a medium sized amplifier.

You might want to give analysis plus oval 9 cables a try. They are only 'somewhat' flat - maybe 3mm x 10mm. Very smooth sounding. Sumiko OCOS cables can sound very good in some systems too - very quick medium high detail level. Their advantage is that long lengths are relatively inexpensive. Another very good cable is the LAT. You can give the guys at www.echohifi.com a call. Very reasonably priced for the performance.
