A good step up that may surprise you if you are not looking to break the bank.
These cables are 12 AWG. great for tube amps and longer runs, they employ very high quality copper and have 0 micro phonics even laying on a hardwood floor near a subwoofer!
I use it for the run inside my floor standers from the binding posts to the crossover for this reason. It is very transparent and not expensive.
It is deigned for car audio but don't let that put you off .
I made these for a second system, the cables I have now where made from a Sea Wolf Submarine 7 AWG silver Teflon , They are big and I have no idea what on that Sub they where used for but the guy who scrapped it said there was a lot of sensitive equipment removed and there where several of these wires in a long loom left behind.
The cables pictured (coiled up) on the floor are Audison Sonus S212 made in Italy ,if I did not have the Sea Wolfs (pictured green with red and black leads I would use the Audisons.
Check out the S210 below! 2.60 mm conductors.

At E 7.50 to E 11.50 per meter it won't break your bank account. It is fantastic stuff to work with believe me, you wont have to use teflex to prevent micro phonics on a hard surface just terminate using the connectors of your choice. 11.meters S212 E 82.50 and S210 E 125.50. 5.5 meters per side I would go with 10 AWG but science suggests you can get away with 16 AWG unless you are using speakers with a 4 ohm load. . https://www.audioholics.com/audio-vi...er-cable-gauge WATCH THE VIDEO IT WILL ENLIGHTEN YOUR MIND ABOUT SPEAKER CABLES.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I would go for the 4mm rather than 2.5.

I'm Jerry.
And your opinion Oliver?
Price is for a single cable so really £20 a metre-bit steep for moi.
