Long XLR cables - DIY construction suggestions?

Hello,

Wanted to ask for recommendations for a DIY XLR cable designs suitable for about 40 foot run -- home use. Pre-amp to active crossover.

Any suggestions for a nice sounding design? Couple of notes to aide the thinking:
1.  I like the sound of BBQ Audio Duelund wire XLR cables that I have but they are ony 18' long. Situation changed. Also, they are a bit pricey. But sound so good.
2. Don't think I have too much RFI or other sorts of interference to worry about.
3. Don't like bright sounding cables. Such as silver based of any form.
4. I've got 900 ft. of CAT5 solid core teflon (plenum rated) wire, just in case.

thanks,
Herman

@gera If you like the 18' BBQ Audio Duelund ICs, why not have Bill build you 40' cables? They're going to cost a few bucks but a whole lot less than anything else, and will sound just as good. 

Those cables, by the way, for me rebut what millercarbon wrote. I have put them head to head with AQ Fire interconnects and K2 speaker wires. Like Bill says, the AQ cables sound different but not better.
