Cable length dilemma!


Ok, so here's the dilemma: speakers placed on either side of a fireplace, impossible to place the amp between them. Only place to put the amp is just to the left of the left speaker, leaving a 1-foot run to the left speaker, and a 9-foot rum to the right speaker. I have always read that your L/R cables should be the same length, but in my case that would necessitate coiling 8ft of the L cable underneath the rack, which is the lesser of two evils here - mismatched length, or a big coil of cable under the rack?

The increased inductance effect of coiled speaker cable in not audible!

Too small to be of significance.

Do not run speaker cable along side power cords.

Do not run speaker cable along interconnects (only cross at a right angle if necessary).
