Speaker Cable Length


I purchased a new amplifier, and due to size, I'm looking to move it outside of my current speakers to the right.  I currently have Generation 6 Transparent Reference speaker cables that are 8 feet long.  To make the move I would have to go to 15 feet of Generation 6 Transparent Reference cables.  Would be interested in feedback on whether I will have any noticeable signal loss or deterioration in sound.

Thanks in advance!

You could easily go 100 feet with #14 speaker wire.

Typical twisted pair inductance is in order of 500nH/m.  At 100ft=30m inductance would be 15uH making reactive impedance at 20kHz  almost 2 ohm 
(not to mention 0.5 ohm resistance)

Shorter is typically desirable, but runs of this length shouldn’t pose much issue.   I run about 28’ with 12 awg...it’s not a problem. The specs of the wire play some role, but I wouldn’t be overly concerned.

When I do long runs I like heavy gauge wire .worlds best cables makes 7 gauge for sale on Amazon. Your transparent ref is thick and hard to beat. I have some 4 gauge i built for a long run. Enjoy the hunt.

Wow!  Thanks for the continued feedback!  Extremely insightful and helpful!!
