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!

For less than $200 you can get a 15-foot pair of "mundane" Blue Jeans Cable 10 AWG speaker cables with no-solder ultrasonically welded connectors. Try them and if you don’t like them, there is a 30 day return policy.

Resistance is the important electrical property for speaker cables (according to BJC and others)

The answer is No. I run 5m lengths myself without any loss in presentation, quality nor sound. Nice system you own there.

 

Happy Listening!

my pleasure. Are you running a full loom of Transparent Reference cables and cords?

 

Happy Listening!
