A few years ago I murdered a perfectly good extension cord looking for a good speaker cable. Needed 6 feet on one end and 12 feet on other. Tried other lengths (2 ft-15ft, 6ft-20ft etc) and found that any mis-match of length more than 20% was sonicaly notable. Have tried more recently "better" cables with similar results. Shorter-longer not better-worse, just different. Moving speakers around will change perception due to different sonic presentation of different cable lengths. Regards to all that have commented on this aggravating topic. Mike
Odd length speaker cables
Given the considerable cost of most high end speaker cables and corner equipment placement in a non dedicated room I am in need of 18 foot run and a 5-6 foot run. How much detriment coiling 12 feet of cable on one side will have for signal path versus difference if one obtains 2 cables of different length?
