Bi-Wire, Tri-Wire or Other???

I am putting together a system for a friend who has the Alon 4 speakers. Alon recommends tri-wire speaker cables, but I am at a loss as my Talons take a single run of speaker cable. I don't want to break the bank here either. He needs 16 foot runs also so the cables are going to be very long. We are trying to acheive a very musical system and not so much a critical listening system.

Do I go with a bi-wire cable and jumpers, mono run with two jumpers, tri-wire with one spade at the amp end with three separte wires in the cable jacket for each of the LF, MF, HF speaker terminals, three separate cables???

I know Alon has their own cable but I have never heard it.

So some suggestions please, maybe $1000 or less in price? If not possible maybe up to $1500 tops. Or maybe start with something now and add to it later?

Thanks and Happy Listening.

You might email [email protected] who custom manufactures customer required lengths of speaker cable of the highest performance, yet at a reasonable cost.
One simple way to do this is using three pairs of speaker cables. Then, there is no problem re-arranging for future system changes, or possible future sale of cables. They are so good, I doubt you will be selling in future, but you never know. As a price benchmark, I use eight foot pair listing for $180, and I believe in your case there would be a discount for purchasing a package of speaker cables in the lengths you require. I know he has made runs even longer than those you require.
I have successfully replaced more expensive cables with those made by Gregg, and he is easy to work with.
