It could depend on the amp and the speaker cable being used
As an example...
- Naim amps require low capacitance cable - using anything else can result in less than optimum sound.
- Naim also recommend a minimum length of their cable be used and of the same length.
I also recall a conversation with a Linn rep along the same lines.
However this could be a ploy to get you to buy more into their product
Iine.
As Almarg said - the distance electrons have to travel is not the issue, it is the effect the cable parameters may have on the amplifier, since it would present two slightly different loads on the left and right channels.
The bigger challenge might be convincing yourself there is no difference when you know of the cable length difference.
Try it - if you like what you hear - then it's obviously not an issue in your setup.
