Questions/Recommendations for Extra Long Cable Run


Without investing in significant interior redesign, my new listening room will require me to use a very long (appx. 35') run of bi-wire speaker cable for one of my Avantgarde Duo's (the other will be a more normal length, probably 8'-10'). Will sound quality suffer noticeably when using such a long cable run? If yes, then i'm on to plan b. If no, is there general guidance you can give as to what i should be looking for, or better yet specific cables that i should consider? Or should i just find something else to worry about and pick the cable that I would have otherwise chosen for a normal length?

need one standard length (appx. 10') and one very long run (appx. 35') pair of bi-wire cables. This will be used with a pair of Avantgarde Duo's and a BAT VK-75 amp. Do you have a suggestion on what I should consider? Am I crazy for even thinking that sound quality will be ok with that long a cable? I have used T-14s and Nordost Solar Winds with this setup, and both are acceptable.

Greeetings, you'd be far better off asking that question to the maker of whichever cable you choose.

My personal choice, especially for such a long run, at a reasonable price, would be DH Labs BL1. They can be reached a Silversonic.com

Happy listening
