Hi:
I'm looking for about 120ft of speaker wire (4 30ft wires). They will connect my Linn Classik with a pair of Sonus Faber Grand Piano's and a pair of SF Concertino's. I've searched the boards, but many are older posts. Here are the ones I'm finding: Cardas 101 @ $6.75/ft, Audioquest Type4 @ $5.00/ft, Analysis Plus Blue Oval @ $5.13/ft, and Analysis Plus Clear Oval @ $4.83/ft.
Anyone have experience or recommendations. I'm open to other bulk wire in this approximate range.
As always, thanks for you help.

Regards,

El Monte

I did a lot of research on this product before purchasing for my computer room home theater system...

This wire features two conductors made of high purity (greater than 99. 95% pure) oxygen-free copper.

I use it with my Klipsch Reference R-15PM speaker system...

You can also get this directly from Monoprice... 300 feet for $69.92....

I would suggest a 14/4 4-conductor, 11 AWG effective gauge speaker cable wired cross-connected (a.k.a. star quad) for an economical, long-length 30 foot run.

A safe bet would be AudioQuest FLX/SLiP 14/4 speaker cable, IME.

This Cable is very nice sounding. Very affordable. I use the same brand on my old Merlin speakers. I also have JPS labs cable. I think the Supra cable may be just as good.

Monte....a month or so ago, I auditioned and then bought ClearDay cable double shotgun speaker cables. They absolutely floored me when I took out my older cables and inserted these. Paul at ClearDay will send you a pair to audition for free. I strongly suggest you try them.... The most it will cost is a couple of dollars to ship them back.
