Speaker cables for 4 ohm speakers

Hi all !! Looking to get some pointers...I have a set of 4 ohm speakers (Tyler Acoustics Woodmere II's) and trying to find a pair of bi-wire cables that would benefit them. My run is 12 foot for both...I am using a Coda CSi Integrated amp that has a pushed bias of 45w class A to about 600 watts 4ohm rating.

Currently I am using Canare 4s11 star quad bi-wires and they lost something in the mix..My music went flat and I lost a lot of the ambiance and fullness. Still nice in the highs and very tight in the bass, but the mid is less..far less in my opinion.

Any direction of wires that would bring back this luster??? Budget in the $500 to maybe $1000, but prefer the lower amount.

One quick correction regarding my previous post, I meant to say low inductance and not impedance.

Shakedown, why do you need 12ft cables? When I look at your system pics your speakers appear to be close together. Have you thought of locating your power amp between the speakers. You then can have 4ft cables.

This said, I am not sure that this will bring you closer to your goal. It will however bring you sonic benefits.

You should be able to connect the cables to two sets of binding post (as if you were bi-wiring) and simply add the jumpers between the posts. This should for all intents and purposes be same as stacking the spades on one post and then adding the jumpers.

As for the orignal OP question, you should focus on finding the cables with lowest impedance especially for the long runs.

Is there any way you could shorten the cable runs?
