Who uses long interconnect like in dealers?


Ideal setup has front end components close to listening chair and run long interconnect between pre and power where power amp sits in between speakers; I have seen many high end dealers to adopt this setup and result is usually more than great. This way front end components do not obstruct speaker imaging and can also avoid bass heavy (vibration) location. But if that is ideal, why do I rarely see long interconnect for sale in used market? I don't think people only upgrade components and short interconnects?

My source equipment is on a side wall and my amps are between the speakers. My IC's to the amps are 4m and my speaker cables are 1m and 1.25m (system is bi-amped).

I have also noticed that there are very few long IC's on the used market. Maybe people don't do this much because the initial cost is so high. Good IC's can cost $1K or more, and I'm not talking about the really expensive stuff. I would love to buy some Audience or AZ 4m cable but just can't quite get there with the finances.

So I'll just continue to watch for that rare used pair to come along and hope someone else doesn't beat me to them.

Good listening.
