Speaker cables if your amp isn't between your speakers

Hi, I'm hoping for some advice on upgrading my speaker cables. My amp (and the rest of my equipment) sits to one side of my speakers. This means one  speaker is about four feet from the amp, and the other is 10-12 feet. I'm thinking of upgrading my speaker cables and it seems I either need to buy a set of cables 10-12 feet long or buy cables that can be ordered to length.  Buying a matching pair will obviously cost more and will be less tidy. Ordering specific lengths seems to decrease the choice significantly (at least in Australia where I live). I'm interested in what others have done in this situation. Spend the extra and deal with the mess, or go custom. My speakers are Wilson Audio Duette series 1 and my amp is a Plinius integrated. My current cables are the base model anticables   Thanks in advance.

Cables don't matter.

Ouch @mmrkaic - that's quite a statement! LOL

Personally, I've never understood the layout that sees the amps sitting between the speakers - talk about vibration central. I built a custom rack that actually sits right underneath the listening room and ran high quality speaker cables up. Sound is blissful. Vibration can really suck the life out of your system.

Get some Canare 4S11 and roll your own. Make them the length you need for each side, it will not effect the sound. Good luck.

If there is. No way to place amp
In center of speakers.  You cant
Or should be buy. 2 different 
Meters.  All wire has to be same
12 meters long.   This is very
Expensive.  Doing it this way. 
  I say that because you want the
Most expensive cable you can purchase.  If you buy cheap  next year you will be buying again 
  And buy the Best Power cable
Also.  Its not about. A mile of junk
Cable to your home.  The cable you buy will have a cap inside 
  Cleaning electricity.   Cap is not
The peoper word,,,,. Sorry
