12 ft pair of thick speakers cables?? Can they be cut downt to a 6 ft pair??

I have a 12 foot pair of Harmonic Technology Pro-11 Plus speaker cables. Can they be cut down to a 6 ft pair and re-terminated with WBT banana jacks. The 12 foot pair is awkward and difficult to place, and WILL NOT stay put on "Porcelain  Cable Elevators"   

I  really like the cables and don't want to necessarily sell them  The "new"  Harmonic Technology company blew me off when I ask if they could do it??   Are there outside services companies that will do it for a reasonable price??. 

Thanks,  SJ

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far.

It looks like the best option is to sell the HT cable OR possibly  run the risk of a botch job on the cable by a garage slicer and re-terminator.

I have a deal on hold with Grover Huffman cable for his new model of speaker cable.  I bought the Z series?) a few years back and was impressed with it, but I broke off one of the bare wire leads at the stem

 GH claims bare wire is the best connector  However fiddling behind a component rack is bad for the back   (Rhyme not intended).

Do banana plugs or spades seriously  degrade sound quality of speaker cable??   Or, is that just an audiophile's "old wives tale" ??
