Hi All,

bryston 3B ST power amp
paradigm studio referrence 60v2
12awg "speaker" cable from home center
25-30 feet between amp and speakers

What should I do to improve stage, bass, image ...
Make speaker cables, move amp and use longer ICs between pre and power amps???

Hi George: Any way possible to shorten the speaker cable runs (considerably) without increasing the IC length (@ all and/or very little)? This configuration will give you better sound and will also make it much less painful to invest in better speaker cables. Also what is the budget? Sorry, I do not have any experience with cable runs this long.
George: Why not try 30' runs of the MIT T2 cable from Audio Advisor (I will never deal with them again after three transactions, but many have had good dealings with them). They should run about half your budget and are returnable within 30 days if not satisfied. From what I have read the network cables are good for long runs and from what I have heard the MIT's soften the HF's a bit which you and your's may or may not like in the system. The T2's do offer a sizeable sound stage.
