Will a 30 feet long speaker cable cause problems?


My B&W 602S3 bookshelf speakers are located 30 feet away from a Rotel RSX-1055. Will this distance cause any degradation? Also what gauge speaker cables are recommended for such lengths?

Go over to Audio Asylum, click on the FAQ page, then find Jon Risch's website. His DIY 89259 cross connect speaker cables have a design that lowers inductance, which is what you want for long speaker cable runs, while keeping relatively low capacitance at the same time. End result is it minimizes rolloff's over distance. It also is fairly inexpensive, being a DIY project.

Enjoy,
