Speaker Cable Advice


I moved to a new house where my new listening room has a large fireplace.  Because I can no longer place the amp in between the speakers if I want to use the fireplace, my 8 foot Audioquest Meteor cables are too short.  I am looking for speaker cables at least 12 feet in length and up to 15 feet for $3000 or less.  I would prefer an all copper cable and if it adds a touch of warmth that would be a good thing in my system.  

So far I have found in my price range Cardas Clear Reflection (new), Kimber Monacle X or XL (new), Kimber Bifocals (I can use biwire cables) or the Kimber KS6063 slightly above my budget. In the used market I have seen Acoustic Zen Satori's, Audioquest Castle Rock (would need to be reterminated though) and a Synergistic Reseach Tesla Accelerators.  I have also been offered XLO Reference 3 cables by a local dealer.

I need to get this done but work and life in general prevent me from auditioning cables. Right now I am leaning to the Cardas based on the reviews. 

Would love to hear from the group what your recommendations are.  If it helps, my system is:  

Feickert Firebird Turntable
Reed 2C Arm
Ortofon Windfeld Cart
Audio Research Reference 2A Phono Pre 
Esoteric C-03 Preamp
TAD Evolution One Speakers
Transparent Power Cords 
Audioquest ICs

Well after a search of the market, I can get AZ Hologram II, Cardas Clear Reflection and Wireworld Eclipse 8 in 4M for about the same price new.  Now leaning to Wireworld.  Voice your opinion between these three or give your experience.  Decision to be made this week. Thanks Teeshot

I meant that it’s not a pure win.

You do get better imaging, but you sacrifice mid to treble.

I guess if your speaker/ amp combo is naturally bright, it is win-win!

Best,

I’m using Studio Cable 4S cables to great effect in my system. they replaced my old MIT cables. You would probably need to email them for the custom size you need though.
