Speaker cable for Mini statements

[neilmaui]

Building a new house for the Mini's : ) its the least they deserve ...and now have a longer cable run to each speaker so wanted to get some new cables. Probably looking at 30ft each speak so 60ft total . any suggestions on a reasonably priced cable that would suit the Mini Statements, Amp is an Emotiva XPA2...any thoughts appreciated. Also the distance from the amp is slightly different and I seemed to remember they recommend still keeping the cable run the same length per side, is that right?

thanks guys
Neil

Hi Neil,

Thanks for building the Mini's a new house. They'll enjoy it and I'll bet you will too.

I believe the owner of this forum owns an audio cable company so I'd certainly recommend you check his cables out. Out of respect for the owner, we don't discuss other brand speaker/IC cables on this forum.

I've bought quite a few cables here , and I love them. Great sound and build quality.

Wow! I am behind the times. I looked in the for sale section and found that Lex had closed down his cable business so I'm assuming its OK to discuss cables now.

That said, I like Bluejeans cable Belden 5000 10 gauge wire for speakers. I also use their 12 gauge for internal wiring. I also like their locking banana plugs a lot.

I use these too. They're great. The locking banana plugs are really handy

Hi Guys, well I have some Blue Jeans cable on its way...should be delivered tomorrow. My room is fairly large and the distance between the speakers will be approx. 20ft! the cable run will be approx. 30ft per side, as it has to go up and over a door on each side...any issues with this...either the spacing between the mini statements or the length of cable, its the Blue Jeans 10 gauge..I also plan on putting a sub in the 2 corners too as the room is approx. 25'x 40' x 16' high

You'll have to experiment a bit and see how well they image that far apart. Speakers are usually 8' - 12' apart. Give 20' a try and see if they fill in the middle. Also, the standard positioning suggestions apply. 18" minimum from the wall behind and at least 18" from the side walls with no large objects blocking the back wave reflection between the speakers.

Lets ud know how it works out.
