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.

just a suggestion...

before paying major bucks for speaker cable for surrounds, you might want to just try going cheapo with monster wire (50ft $39.95) for the effect channels. the sound might suprise you, sometimes its easy to forget that something cheap can still work and sound good.

I dunno what your financial means are, if they are extremly comfortable and cost is no issue, then hey, why not huh? if you would like to save a few bucks, try it out, it might suprise you and work just fine for your HT needs. Use the real good stuff with the 2channel rig where it is most noticed and needed

case-in-point, my new get-by (long story) 2ch rig is a 5 year old denon amp, a 8 year old DBX pre-amp, some radioshack speakers and monsterwire with a DVD-a source. Sounded alot better tan i had expected it to. In fact, it was kinda freaky, it sounded WAY WAY better than i had expected.
gotta love those "heil tweeters" though.

gettin back in da game...
