Due to a system equipment change around which involves an Audio research (ls27) & bryston 7bsst Im tossing up whether to go 11 metre fat as f.... speaker cables or 10m balanced leads from pre to power.
Usually the balanced cables wouldn't be a problem.The output impedence of the ARC is 700ohm but may vary considerably and the input impedence of the bryston is 20kohm and may also vary considerably.Combined with 10 metres of vandamme quad core balanced cable could I be "damaging" the audio signal?
I have contacted both AR and bryston about the variance in the input and output impedence over frequency but they haven't replied. I have found no measurements on the net either.
On paper it fits the 10:1 ratio easily but in reality with the variances am I low pass filtering with the additional 1400fh of capacitance of these cables.
This has led me to think, well just use big old fat as hell speaker cable (mogami 3104) and keep my interconnects all 1 metre.
Any thoughts?
Any body use 10m speaker lengths?
Speakers are PMC IB2 with minimal impedence of 3.5ohm if that matters.
Cheers for any advice
