Cable Length Query


I am installing a new primary SS amplifier. If I set this unit between the speakers I will need 4 meter XLR cables but the speaker cables will be 2 meters. If I put them amp in my wall enclosure, the XLR will be 1.5 meter but the speaker wires will need to be 6 meter.

Which would be the better option? Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.

Wow, thanks everyone for the information. I have a SIM Audio Preamp and just purchased a Krell KSA250. Like Elizabeth, I have built into the left wall a custom equipment enclosure. However, the Krell is too deep to fit into this rack. Coupled with the weight, I plan to set it between my Martin Logan Ethos speakers. From the back of the rack to the center of the wall would require a set of 4 or 5 meter XLRs. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to have balanced cables.
