Dueland

I am in the market for a new pair of cables.  Last year, after a lot of online research, I decided to try the Clear Day Double Shotguns only to find out that they are not longer being made!
I am now considering, after reading a number of rave reviews, getting a pair of Dueland 12ga cables.  The only thing that is putting me off is a few online comments saying they are not good with low efficiency speakers.  I have Spendor s3/5R which are 84db.  I have a asymmetrical setup so they would be 5' x 13' in length.
Anyone with experience regarding this?
Thanks!

 Looks like you are using yours with Harbeths which have the same 84db efficiency rating as my Spendors so it seems that the Dueland should be fine.I will check out the Acoustic BBQ offerings as well.
Thanks!

I agree the Dueland 12 gauge should work fine and sound very good after break-in. Very hard to beat for the price!

It´s Duelund, no Dueland.

Are you saying one cable will be 5 feet long and the other 13 feet?  I don't have the science behind this, but I'd think it'd have to introduce differences in resistance and other things as well.  I wouldn't do this if this is what you're thinking, but maybe some smarter people like @almarg or someone can educate us more on this.

Jesus, you are right! " It' s (It's)  Duelund no(t) Dueland." 

Soix:  As with all things cable related there doesn't seem to be anything like  complete agreement on whether using two lengths of cable is detrimental to the sound.  I really want to avoid having a big coil of speaker cable behind my rack which also might not be desirable soundwise.  I am using Kimber 8tc now with different lengths and don't hear any bad effects but, of course, I didn't compare them with anything.I would be interested in hearing Almarg's opinion which is always well informed.
