I just swapped out my Benchmark speaker cable with SpeakOn termination for some Audience FrontRow also with SpeakON terminations (you can get any termination). I only need 1 meter lengths because I have monoblocks right beside each speaker. I use 15 or 25 foot of Benchmark XLR cables to connect my amps to my preamp. This way my rack is sitting beside me and nothing is in-between my speakers.
Comparing my FrontRow and Benchmark cables are an apples-2-apples comparison. One cost $200 and the other cost $3600. The Audience is a bit better but I was very happy with the Benchmark prior to the FrontRow. I only bought the FrontRow because I had saved so much on my other gear that I had some extra cash in the stereo budget to splurge.
If you are going to use very long speaker cables I suggest you use some pro cables like the Benchmark so that you do not get killed by the cost. They are excellent.
