No issues at all, especially if you run balanced cables (XLR connectors). I have done it that way for over 10 years and I am very pleased with the result. My room is set up the same way as what you are planning to do, front end audio gear in a cabinet along the side wall, speakers along the front wall with amps next to them, and 35 foot long balanced Interconnects used with no problems. Short speaker cables (4 footers.) Go for it I say. Balanced also lowers the noise floor (in my experience) and alleviates the potential for system hum, which is much more likely if you run long single ended I.C.'s with RCA plugs.
Long interconnect cables
Hi All,
I am considering moving my equipment to the side of my listening room and retaining only the amplifiers between the speakers.
If I were to do this it would obviously mean running a longer than normal interconnect from the preamplifier to the monoblocks (maybe around 4 feet). I'd be interested to hear from others who have done this and whether it represents a compromise sound-wise or whether anything can be done to ensure that the sound is not affected.
Thanks
James
