Sorry, I did not intend to dis-hearten you by presenting best practice ideals.
Most systems will fall short in practise.
The extra length of the Lautus may allow some additional clearance in routing.
In my own experience, having tested Lautus in particular against a number of more expensive and well respected and reviewed cables in my collection, I preferred the Lautus for its sonic attributes and have since replaced all my interconnects with GSP products excepting only my tonearm cables.
Do give them a try, you may also like what they bring.

It's doubtful that you're screwed.
Crossing interconnects at rt angles to mains cables is a good idea if you have the room.
I don't have the room to dress cables in this ideal way but don't really notice any noise
with Lautus running close to mains cables, regenerator etc.
As said - try a demo.Wink

Hmm. Guess I’m screwed then. 
Got a huge 7 channel amp, BLU-RAY, CD, TiVo, TT PSU & Rev M 
With PSU1. 
Magnets & power EVERYWHERE! All cables platted & squished together behind the cabinet. 

May be trying to polish a 💩 here. 

That being said, I don’t notice any noise. 
None of my interconnects are cheapies. Mostly Chord mid to high end.

If your interconnects must cross power cables, try to do so at right angles or increase the air gap using a bath sponge or something similar to give a few inches of clearance.
Aside from speakers (and I doubt bitumen & foil will help) transformers in CD/DVD players and amplifiers are also sources of magnetic fields.
Again, air gaps are your friend in reducing their effects.

The bulges Graham referred to in the Lautus will be the ferrite filters.Smile
I use a 1.5m Lautus analogue interconnect crossing mains cables etc & have no noise problem.
Nor with the CuSat50 either.

What do you mean by the bulges in the cable Graham?

Gotta hope an AV speaker has some screening in there. 
Bet it hasn’t though. 
I may add some car type bitumen with thick foil sound deadening to the cabinet. 
Adds mass and to my mind gives it a bit of a Faraday Cage effect from the foil.  Dunno if it would have any effect on the magnetic fields though??
