12 ft pair of thick speakers cables?? Can they be cut downt to a 6 ft pair??


I have a 12 foot pair of Harmonic Technology Pro-11 Plus speaker cables. Can they be cut down to a 6 ft pair and re-terminated with WBT banana jacks. The 12 foot pair is awkward and difficult to place, and WILL NOT stay put on "Porcelain  Cable Elevators"   

I  really like the cables and don't want to necessarily sell them  The "new"  Harmonic Technology company blew me off when I ask if they could do it??   Are there outside services companies that will do it for a reasonable price??. 

Thanks,  SJ

I agree with Doug in his response "A zillion conductors with individual dielectric"....FAR too many tiny conductors to clean off, the bunch together and crimp or solder to connectors on both (2) sets of cables. Not to mention that you will need to purchase a total of 8 more (preferably high quality) terminations, which can be quite costly. If the wire was just simply stranded or solid core, it would be an easy DIY job. The dialectric needs to be removed before terminating in your case.
