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.
