Vtin, the sonic benefits of short speaker cable*-long I/C, versus short I/C-longer speaker cable, have been difficult to gauge in my experience. I have tried both -- the latter lately; my personal experience favours keeping the IC short (around 1m). This is probably because the signal from the pre is weaker than the one leaving the power amp -- and thereby more vulnerable to IC inductance?
Others, however have had good results with longer ICs & keeping the speaker cable on the short side... Could you not try both combinations before U settle?
Cable: I've never lived with an Eclipse/Rowland combo, so no suggestions, I'm afraid!
Good luck!
