Speaker length vs. I/C length


I've read that it is better to have longer I/C's vs. longer speaker cables. Is this true? Speakers have a higher level signal, wouldn't this be better for a longer wire? My greatest distance will only be about 6-8 feet.

I think the short speaker cables trick used to be a popular way of helping average output monos drive insensitive (79-ish db) speakers? Shorter wire, juice flows faster & more easily into the crossover... with indifferent results, in my case (I used ear519s back then, to drive Apogee Stages)

I have had better results the other way round, as per Sean & Fineberg. I play single-ended.
