I'm going to take the first 3m with the mini coax ends and fit banana cables to try my HE500 headphones direct from an amp, that leaves me 5m to play with for cables with the first one. I'll try with the speakers before I cut into 1m length so I know how they sound as speaker cable.

No. Speaker wire should be really good 'n thick and kept as short as practical. That is all there is to speaker cable...
