I have some short runs of Van Den Hul Tea Track biwire cables currently but am moving house and a new home theatre room. I'm considering building my equipment rack in at the back of the room (4.7m wide x 5.4m long) so the speaker cables could be running 10m or more. Can anyone make a sensible recommendation which isn't stratospheric in price given I'm going to need 3x so approx. 30-35m. Kit-list below but will be looking at upgrading to Monitor Audio GX range shortly. PS:- can trolls please abstain - I'm looking for advice on a selection; not a discussion over whether cables work or make a difference.

Haha nice final comment at the bottom there Damien; got me chuckling
With your set-up and if you're looking to go down the M/A GX route next I think the Chord Odyssey 4 wire would be a perfect match.
I've got that cable with my NAD and B&W system below and it's superb

Thanks and indeed 😉 I've seen too many requests for advice turned into never-ending heated debates that 20 year old bell-wire is just fine. etc etc
Unfortunately, I'm in Australia and Chord here is WAY over-priced. On top of this, they also prevent stockists from supplying overseas customers. I have Chord HDMI's and some others I bought prior to this new rule and am very happy. Suppose I could always have it shipped to my Mother and on from there. I'll look into it, cheers.

Save your money, help the local industry and buy some CDs.
P.S. I don't want to encourage you, but if you look at some German or US websites, they may be willing to ship to you.

Trouble is; a 10 meter run (here in the UK) fully terminated would cost £300.00 or so, A$600.00, before shipping, per run
You'll need two for L&R and then possibly a Odyssey 2 for the Centre so you would be looking at anywhere between A$1500 to 1800.00 nett cost
That's a bit of cash I reckon, might be better to rethink the final position of the amp etc
PS; I have Odyssey 4 and 2 in my set up and it is a wonderful cable!
