speaker cables for surrounds

I am building a home theater for my new house. My current system includes:

Front L/R: B&W 800D
Center: B&W HTM1D
Surround side: B&W DS8S x 2
Surround back: B&W DS8S x 2

Any suggestions on speaker cables for my surround speakers? The surround side would be approx 10 meter runs, and the surround back would be approx 15 meter runs.

Go with a pre/pro and seperate amps placed near the speakers. The other plus besides WAY better sound is, it is a lot easier to run interconects as they a slimmer and more flexiable.
I was stunned and amazed when I Went from long speaker cable to shorter ones with long interconnects.

I bought Audioquest Type 4 speaker cables in bulk a few years back. They do the job quite nicely for my surround speakers. You may want to try them or other models lower down the line.
