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...

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.

my interconnects are Belden 1694A. What are yours?

The type and gauge of the wire is very important  especially 
longer runs I would think at least a 12awg size wire  if not bigger 
quality too has a lot to say about the Final product.
myself use the solid High purity foil Speakrrcables from Verastarr  and  they can handle longer runs with no issues.
