Excess speaker wire


New member here. I saw some posts on not coiling excess speaker but is there any opinion on running the excess length in a figure of 8? i have my hi fi rack in such a position that it is placed much closer to one speaker.

Thank you all for such an informative and detailed responses. At the moment I am running the excess length in a zig zag, figure of 8 fashion and it seems ok for now. However allthe excess wire is on the floor underneath my hifi racks unit, right underneath my Luxman integrated amp. 

I'll have to unravel it one weekend and see if I can hear a difference..
Thank you b4icu442. I have no intention of cutting my cables as they are factory terminated and cost a lot of money (for me). Good to know that the shape of the lay is not a bid deal. One of these days I'll have to route them under my floorboards.
Good to know from all the answers that it is still a hot topic!
