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?

"Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables” will create Frankenstein speaker cable! LOL

also, higher price of cable not always related to (technical) performance thereof, mostly aesthetics. 

An easy compare if you have a 'balance' function on your upstream gear- any zip cord to one speaker, your 'good cable' to the other. Will give you a frame of reference, anyway.
