i need 20 meter speaker wire, decent quality

I am in need of either getting 20 meter speaker calbe or 20 meter interconnects. Currently the speaker cables are 20 meters from the speakers. They are not good speaker cables. I either am going to get 20 meter interconnects along with 2 meter speaker cables or 20 meter speaker cablesusing my current trsnsparent bmlu interconnects.

my system consists of the following items

Krell evo 302 amp
pass lab x350 amp
mbl 111e's speakers
Krell HTS 7.1 processor
Krell standard cd/dvd

I use this system for both 2 channel and 5.1. I want to run good speaker cables to the front mbl's only

I really don't want to spend anymore than 3 to 4K. Any reccomendations on which way to go and what kind of speaker cables I should consider? Unless I can get a marked improvement over my current sound i wont spend the money. I am currently using cheap 16 guage bi-wire speaker cables which run about 20 meters.

With that sort of length you should get some heavier gauge speaker wires. I would go for 12 gauge. Look on eBay for Mil Spec silver plated Teflon insulated wire. I bought a spool of 12 gauge 600 feet (more like 700 ft really) for $40 last Summer. It makes great speaker wire.
I twisted a quad foursome, and wrapped it with Teflon gas-pipe tape... it took a lot of work to do 100 ft long, but it is nice.
If you want a 'real' speaker cable, I would go for Kimber 12TC for your fronts. Then 8TC for the rears. The total cost would be in your price bracket.
Good luck. (I like your choice of equipment!)

Ocos speaker cable is supposed to be made for long runs. It's distributed by Dynaudio.
