Volume affected by uneven lengths of spker cable??


I have read pros/cons about the the issue of having unequal lengths in a PAIR speaker cable, that is, volume is louder in one channel than the other. Is this true, or does it depend on the brand of cable??

You'd be loading the amp differently on each channel, as mentioned, albeit slightly in real terms.
It is a gross exaggeration to say "slightly" in this context. Inconsequential is more appropriate.

Another thing to consider is if you have different lengths of speaker wire it will almost be impossible for you to re-sell them should you find an issue with the speaker wire or want to try different cable.
This is a real consideration, if that is a possibility.
