If you are using pre-manufactured stuff intended for the application, the maker of the cable should be able to give you their recommended limits. I use some Liberty speaker wire in my HT system; the 12/4-conductor wire has the rating written on the outer covering, "60' for fronts, 120' for surrounds".That said, for a while I used them in a 50' run to my fronts, they "worked". Since has changed to longer interconnects, with the Liberty cables at 10' lenghts, which improved the bass tightness and overall clarity.
