Is it better to have long runs of plain old speaker wire, or long runs of line-level shielded wire?
Without getting into details, I've got speakers a long way from a line-level source-
Given this limitation, is it better to place an amp close to the speakers (and connected to the line level source through shielded audio cable) or
place the amp close to the line level source, with long speaker wire runs.
(I'd rather run the audio cable, cause it's being snaked through conduit, and I think it would take somewhat less space than decent-gauge speaker wire)
