Long Speaker Wire Runs

I use 30' runs of 12ga continous cast copper from Vampire Wire (Sound Connections). Just a red and a black insulated run to each speaker with quality spades on each end.

I have a similar set up problem with a long distance between my electronics and speakers. Both Ric of Argent Audio and Robert or Ridge Street Audio suggested I try the Alphacore Goertz wire which is designed to work for long runs.

I ordered a pair of the M2 and tested it out. While not the final word in sonic resolution, it sounded excellent, far better than the long runs of DH Labs Q10 I was using. Good soundstaging, highs and lows, just not the ultimate in detail that could be gotten wth speaker wires like TG Audio, Argent Audio, or Ridge Street, none of which are available or affordable in long lengths.

I liked the AlphaCore wire. The flat copper or silver is attractive, but looked to easy to damage. So I exchanged it for the Python version, same wire in a round casing. After much research, the www.alphacore.com wire was the best solution I found for long runs.

Kimber 4PR will deliver plenty of performance without breaking the bank

Thanks to everyone for all this input....

Thanks to all !!

Try the Mas Signature - very reasonable price - probably about $300 or the Purist Ventas - but a little more money. I have used both for long runs and was very happy with them.
