No longer need 16' speaker cable pair- options?


So- when I bought my speaker cables a few years ago, Analysis Plus Mesh Oval 9's, the way my system was set up, I needed a 16' pair. My set up is entirely different now, and I don't need more than a 10' run. As I see it, I have 3 options: 1- do nothing; 2- have my cables re-terminated by AP into a 10' pair and a spare 6' pair; 3- Sell my Oval 9's and look for an entirely new cable.

I do like the AP 9's- it's a full and warm cable. Really checks off all the right boxes for me and in the time I've owned them, never been disappointed by their performance. My amp is a Pass X250.8 and the speakers are Revel Studio 2.

Your thoughts? Thanks!

If you like the cable, I would leave it alone and route the excess cable appropriately.  It's not that much excess.  IMO, a reterminated 6' pair of cables would not have much value, especially if you deduct the cost of retermination.  If you needed a 6" pair for another system, that's a different story.
