Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable


When I first moved in my place years ago, my speakers fired down the long wall in a rectangular room. The speakers were 5 ft out from the front wall and the rear wall was 12 ft behind my listening seat. My amplifier was between the speakers so the standard 10 ft run of cable was sufficient.

Currently the system is turned 90° and as shown in my Virtual System pics, the speakers fire down the short wall with my listening seat directly at the rear wall.

Out of curiosity, I purchased a 100 ft spool of generic speaker cable and moved my speakers to their old location. I knew this would happen but I immediately got more depth, more separation of instruments. More localization of musicians, etc.

I don't want to move my rack so if I keep it this way I'm going to need 20 ft of speaker cables. The fact that I now use monitors and the terminals are 2 ft off of the floor only worsens the situation regarding length.

So, long story long, I'm looking for recommendations on 20 ft speaker cables preferably under $1,000 new or used.

Thanks.

@devilboy, 
Congratulations on acquiring the Rethm Bhaava speakers. I know that they are high sensitivity and an easy to drive impedance load. Are you considering a low power tube amplifier or happy and content with the First Watt F7?

@stereo5,
That was a kind and generous act on behalf of devilboy. I’m curious to know if they are a good fit in his system.

"I'm convinced that room acoustics are far greater of an importance than boutique cables."
@devilboy, 
I agree with your observation and conclusion. I believe that the cables are a factor but less so than the room itself.

I use "bare ends"  connection with my Ocellia Silver Reference speaker cable and am happy with the outcome.

Hi @devilboy, 
@goose mentioned Duelund Coherent Audio speaker cables. I believe that they are worth looking into.
