Wife is remodeling - spkr cable recommendation pls

My wife is remodeling the house. Works out OK for me, new plasma, HT stuff in family room. 2-channel has moved to another room. However, due to new set up, I now need 25' speaker cables from my MF A300 integrated to my B&W N-804's. Cables will run from closet location of electronics (new dedicated power line) through floor, across basement and up through floor again to speakers. Locating amp closer to speakers (or basement) not in the cards.

I had been using MIT Terminator 2 bi-wire and was reasonably happy though I haven't tried anything else (except Radio Shack 12 gauge from old lo-fi system). I was hoping to spend around $500 or less. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I also utilize a 25' speaker cable run due to the WAF. You don't see too many long cable runs on the used market, so when I pitched my Rat Shack stuff I replaced it with a set of Tara Labs Phase II from The Cable Co. at usedcable.com (Specials link). They cost around $200 and were drop shipped brand-new from Tara Labs. I am going to order another pair soon in order to bi-wire my Spendors.

I may also try out a pair of shotgun bi-wire cables from Signal Cable. I don't have personal experience with their products, but many people have said that they are excellent at their price point.

Like you, I can't justify spending more on wire at the moment...
