Thin cables, good sounding

OK inmates here's my situation: I've got Proac Studio 100's ( with a Rel q201e)hooked up to an Arcam A85 ( this will change to a Creek Destiny in the near future) the speakers are in floor to ceiling built in bookcases on either side of a stone fireplace in my family room/ kitchen. I can only run relativly thin wire less than a half inch diameter. This room is on a slab so I have to snake things around the front of the fireplace hearth, and through the book cases (Anti cables can't bend the way I need it to) I am currently using DH labs T14, single wire with Dh Labs jumpers.. sounds pretty good. I want to go a bit better and I'm thinking of an internal bi-wire Q10.If I order the Q10 as an internal bi-wire I can also try it as a single run with jumpers. My questions are anything better that's as small and compact as the Q10 but isn't way expensive? ( Audience AU24 comes to mind as small, very good but very pricey) Second question I really don't want to use equal lenghts of wire, I need 19ft to one side and 10 to the other.. yes I'd like them the same but the amp is in the bottom of one bookcase behind doors and all the extra wire is a PITA , think there is Really a big difference sonically doing this?? THanks for the advise and opinions.
