Speaker cable suggestions

My newly put together system is Plinius 8200 mkII integrated driving Joseph Audio RM22si signature speakers (Full system viewable under my virtual system). Current speaker cable is 6' Kimber 4TC biwired (two completely separate runs).

Problem is, current cable is too short for my setup. I need at least 8', and want 10' or 12' to have some slack just in case. Two questions:

1. Plinius has two separate sets of binding posts for use with biwiring. I like the idea of two separate cable runs, versus those that are joined together at 2 leads at the amp end. Is this just in my head, or is it true I will get better sound from two isolated cable pairs, each with their own dedicated binding post?

2. Can you recommend a cable for my setup. I would like to do this on the cheap (<$200 used), but will consider a little more if people feel a huge improvement to my system can be had.

Thanks,
Matt.

I know more than a few people that have wandered over to Goertz from the Kimber camp and been quite happy with the results. As such, i second Pops' suggestion above. Give Goertz a call and see what you can work out. I would suggest sticking with their "flat" series of cables and not the newer "rounded" versions. While you're at it, request the newer Teflon series if dealing directly with Goertz on new "30 day trial" cables and have them terminate the cables with the RC links included. Sean
