Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables


I was given a pair of premium quality speaker cables but they’re about 1ft short on each side and there’s no way to change it. If I added an extra 1ft of cheaper cable would it defeat the purpose?

@jasonbourne71 I'm with you on this one...Very few speaker manufacturers use high quality internal wiring. Assuming 4 ohm speakers and amplifiers under 500 wpc 12 gauge monster cable is more than adequate for any kind of wire run under 50 feet and there will be no audible benefit to using heavier or more expensive wire. So much of the things that have audiophiles degenerating into hand wringing over the choice to make are so inconsequential as to be laughable. Just do what is expedient and don't sweat the choice and get back to listening to the music...that is after all what we go thru all this trouble for. 

@rankaudio no ruffled feathers. We established a while ago that you had a hidden agenda. You acknowledge it and apologized.
 

I’m giving you my honest opinion 

the system in the video sounds thin, bright and sibilant. I’m familiar with that Malia track. It’s one of those demo tracks that will make any system sound good.
I don’t know what it sounds like in a real life but to me in that video it’s garbage.

I get it you don’t like my opinion. That’s fine. 
I don’t ridicule you for using the home depot speaker cables. Whatever floats your boat. 

Just like any other cable denier you continue to try and stir something up.

You can search the forums. There are dozens of discussions on this cables matter or don’t matter topic. No matter what explanation is being provided to you or what experiences are being shared, you won’t be able to get this thru your thick skull. So it’s a waste of time. Start a thread that actually brings value. This cables matter BS is worthless. 

Totally defeat the purpose it would change everythung that was improved that 1 ft 

destroys the purity of the upper ends wire purity, dielectric  shielding if Litz wire even more so  and the geometry of the wires build .
