The max length you can use for 14 gauge is 80ft for an 8ohm load. Again the speaker load may dip towards 4 for low frequencies.

You may need a 12AWG wire for your application.

hi,
Though not immediately useful, That was an important addition to the information that I have. Had never thought that the length will affect impedance rating although it is quite obvious.

I find the Monoprice speaker wire's are costlier as 100ft 14AWG wire cost 22.05 + 53.56 (shipping and handling) = 75.61 $.
And also I do not have credit card to pay for that.

Compared to that wire in price wise, this eBay product is better
RCA AH14100SN 14-Gauge Speaker Wire 100Ft (Rs. 2463)

But my concern over this RAC wire is that whether it is Oxygen free or not.
And is it better than DAC brand speaker wire.

Please let me know. Thanks

I am using DAC 16 AWG for all my surrounds of the 7.1 setup. I purchased it for Rs 80 per meter and am happy with it. Please also refer to this article as well which elaborates the drop in output on increasing lengths.

If you are on a bordering case you can decide based on the curve above. Please note that for differences of output your audyssey setup will take care of this difference during calibration.

I do not find any DAC speaker wire in Amazon as well... so there is a question in my mind that RCA is better than DAC or DAC should be an Indian brand..

With RCA in Amazon, I find lot of good review with it. But I could not nowhere about how much it is oxygen free.

So still hesitating to go..
