Hmmmmm speaker cables


   Im getting a Parasound Hint6 and i’ll be in need of speaker cables. The Hint6 will be powering a pair of ML Sequel II’s. Maybe 15’ or 20’ runs.
    I think tne last time i bought speaker cable it was AQ Type4. I had a MusicalFidelity B-1 powering Spica TC50’s.......its been awhile

Do you think the lenths should be the same regardless of one really being shorter. The real lenths are 25’ and 35’

Don't suppose there is any way to get it shorter OP? You can loose a LOT of bass driver control with runs that long from an amp.. Overshoot by direct coupling (no passive XO) really likes SHORTER cables.. 

If you think in terms of BASS alone.. Not SUB. Shorter and bigger! 3 meters is a push for mixing frequencies in a cable. #10 just for the BASS at 5 meters.. #18-16 for mids and highs.. 25-35 feet..? HUGE ok, pretty big...To work REAL well.. I'd be using SOOW 10/4 OFC NOT OCC and a second run of a silver clad copper (OCC) PTFE weave.. 200-300. usd total..
