20 foot long speaker cable: is it ok?

Hi guys I'm looking to move my speakers to the long wall of my room, the 14 foot one. In order to do this I'm going to need to acquire a 20 foot pair of speaker cables. I don't (can't) put my amp in the middle.

Based on my research it seems as long as the cable is well made, it shouldn't matter, at least 20 feet or under? I am worried that my sonics will suffer...

I'm currently running 24 feet of 10 gage cables  from my Bryston 4BSST2 to a pair of Thiel 2.7s. No Problems!

I got the speaker cables from Blue Jeans, along with  some audio interconnect cables, and a 26 foot XLR  to run from a PX05 passive crossover  to my SS2.2 subwoofer.  

More than satisfied with Blue Jeans.

Disclaimer: I'd never heard of Blue Jeans Cable until I bought these on a very strong recommendation from a friend.

Is there any way to move the amp closer to the speakers?
I would use longer interconnects between preamp and amp than use long speaker cables. And, balanced interconnects over RCA.
