Speaker Cables - Long Run


Greetings -

I'm stuck with having to run 20' of bi-wire cable from my Conrad Johnson Premier 12's to Vandersteen Quattro's. Have been using Van Den Hul Tea Track, some say I can do better. 

Without breaking the bank, I'm considering upgrading. 

If anyone would care to recommend a bi-wire cable that would do well in a 20' run, I would appreciate it!

Thank you!

@rbschauman - I used VDH cables 15 years ago, but it seems that they are resting on their laurals, since wire technology has come a long way from OFC copper in that time

I would take a look at Audio Envy - they use OCC copper, which is significantly more dynamic than OFC and even silver and they also use better insulation for a lower noise floor and improved clarity and imaging. They are also resonably priced.

To keep things reasonably priced I would also recomend using a single run and getting OCC copper jumpers. I think you will find it a more pleasing result than a biwire solution

  • I used a biwire solution many years ago and changed to the single run with a custom long jumper solution and found improvements across the board
  • I used 1/2 meter jumper wires - they work much better than the little connector plates that come with many speakers and KLE Innovations banana plugs on the jumpers

Just another approach
