Long speaker cables - cost vs performance


Looking for suggestions to a situation I have. My system is high-end. (Wilson Maxx 2's, McIntosh MC1201's and C500 etc...Valhalla and Jena Dreamdancer interconnects...etc. BUT, my speaker cable runs are 24 feet long!

Currently using shotgunned TMC Gold speaker cables. Wondering about improving these, but with what? The cost of running that much Valhalla or comparable would be astronomical (especially if bi-wired). Ideas?

My listening area is also the main living area, and no rearrangement of the componentry or speaker position is feasible.

I'm essentially happy with the sound, but am sure there's improvement possible in the speaker cable selection.

All advice appreciated.

Hi JB - If foe whatever reason you can't get things closer, then you should look at cables that have exceptional performance at longer lengths, from the low cost OCOS cables, the Synergistic Research Tesla cables with their active shielding,and the "network" cables from MIT and Transparent. My inclination would be the S/R cables for this system, but all of the above cables perform well at longer lengths. Have FUN!
