Hi, I would put the amplifier between the speakers and buy an XLR interconnect cable, it is also the cheapest way to solve the issue, an interconnect cable compared to a speaker cable of similar quality is much cheaper, also remember that the length of the speaker cables should be the same for both speakers, no matter if it is not necessary for one of them. I hope it helps you
Cables from amp to preamp or longer speaker cables…
So today I was in the room that I’m setting up for dedicated listening. Speakers will be at the front of the room and sofa will be at the other end. I dug out a pair of expensive speaker cables I had from many years ago and discovered they are only about six feet long. This would be ok if I had my rig set up behind the speakers but I want to sit on that sofa at the far end of the room (12 feet away) and have my Benchmark DAC 3 HGC beside me so I can plug headphones in occasionally……do I buy long speaker cables (probably expensive), or would I place my amp behind the speakers and run long cable from that to the preamp beside the sofa and if so would this long cable create any issues?
