Speaker Cable Question

I have used Audioquest G-2 bulk speaker cable for my atmos height channels. I am using Mogami Quad Core Gold interconnects for my active speakers for the bed channels. I have a pair of rear surround speakers that are also passive. Should I use Mogami speaker wire, the same Audioquest G-2 speaker wire I used for the height channels, or does it not matter? Thanks

It likely does not matter a whole lot, but sticking with the same cables is easy to justify,

Does your HT unit do channel by channel EQ?

If you have some of boys an hand, then maybe try a mismatched set on the main 2-channel side and push a stereo signal though it?

Maybe one can hear it… Certainly if the cables are very long and one has a high inductance or capacitance compared to the other.

But with a movie or some visual stuff playing, the mind is only able to keep track of a finite amount of stuff happening. And the HT side is less stressful in terms of audio needs.

Personally I would keep the L/R/C the same, and not have any chest tightness, but I am a Luddite.
