Speaker Cable Length

I purchased a new amplifier, and due to size, I'm looking to move it outside of my current speakers to the right.  I currently have Generation 6 Transparent Reference speaker cables that are 8 feet long.  To make the move I would have to go to 15 feet of Generation 6 Transparent Reference cables.  Would be interested in feedback on whether I will have any noticeable signal loss or deterioration in sound.

Wilson Audio Alexia V speakers

Thanks in advance!

Hello @woots   I don't think so.  I had to make custom cables 24 and 34 feet getting to my speakers from my side of room components...no issues, even with different lengths.  I consulted speaker manufacturers on the lengths and was assured it would make no difference.  Did make a difference due to cost though!  i made mine from Furutech Alpha 36 with Furutech spades...fun project.

I, too, have to run 15 foot cables. No issues.

Nope it should be fine. You are very unlikely to hear any difference.  I use Transparent Ultra Gen6 speaker cables... I think mine are two meters, but I have used four meters before. These are great cables.  It’s not until you get up to 25 or 30 feet that there could be a noticeable difference
