I agree with Sugar in terms of length. If it is not too long, 8 to 10 foot per side is a very common length for most systems. Obviously, this will vary quite drastically depending on how things are set-up.
As far as speaker cables go, i would look for cables that are known for being either neutral or somewhat warm and smooth while avoiding anything that is known for sounding bright or "etched". This type of cable should compliment your electronics and speaker selection. Some Axon 8 arranged in a low inductance pattern or similarly configured Audioquest cables might be a good starting point. Both are readily available and very reasonably priced. I would avoid the lower priced Kimber 4PR or 8PR as they tend to sound somewhat lean and have a "zingy" top end, which would not be a good match for a metal dome tweeter. I personally do not like the Analysis Plus speaker cables but the MIT's might also work in this situation. As you've seen though, there are a lot of different cables and opinions out here, so use your own ears and judgment whenever possible. Sean
