I know the common wisdom is to run longer IC's rather than long Speaker cables. The Nordost website recommends IC's to be 2M or less because of low current line levels, and that longer speaker runs are not as critical due to higher voltages and currents combined with Nordost low capacitance. Anyone running long runs (5+ meters)of Nordost speaker cables?
