I use the newer Oval 9s and 12s as a “bi-wire” arrangement. The 9’s on the bottom and 12’s on the top. An effective real world priced solution. Do I have better cables? Yes, but at significantly greater cost.

Thanks, can't wait to get the components in the cabinets and wires hidden! Will definitely post pics when it's all buttoned up
Now I need to dig up my notes and get an order in for the Shunyata PC's - and make a decision on the speaker cables. To respond to a comment above, I am not dissatisfied with the 12TC I have, I just need longer lengths - hence the question could I change out for something better in the same price range +/- assuming I need a new set. Cheers Matt |

Have you considered keeping your speaker run short by moving your 501s next to each speaker and then run a longer balanced cable back to the pre? Take your current 12TC and make 2 pair of shorter runs for biwiring 800D.

Yes, but the idea is to really build everything in and hide cables entirely. The cabinets on the RHS of the fireplace will fit comfortably 501/2300/501. That makes the longer run to the left speaker - nothing crazy, but I estimate about 15 ft.
The current cables will be re-used in a second system in the upstairs office, so no waste |

Hi Matt,
I like the Martini in your first picture. 😀 I too need a 15 foot pair of speaker wires and just ordered the Synergistic Research Foundation cables in the bi-wired configuration. They are available in black so cosmetically they might blend in with your dark wood floor. Price is similar to the 12TC. Dave |
