Does unequal speaker wire length matter?

My amp is not located centrally between my speakers. Due to the layout of my listening area, the amp is about 10 feet from one speaker, and adjacent to the other - and this will not change. I am currently using two 4-meter cables, but one of them need only be about 1 meter. I am looking to upgrade my cables, could I get away with unequal lengths and save a good bit of money?

I was wondering the same thing again, and I know most audiophiles will say it is a no no, but if I do not really do critical listening, can I reallyhear the difference? Has anyone tried different lengths and actually heard the difference? Most don;t even have room treatments so how much issue can this really cause?
