How long should speaker cables be?


My cables are 12 feet long but with my current setup 6 feet would be more than enough. I recall reading somewhere that connectors should be short and speaker cables should be long. Does anyone have an opinion on this?

This is “one” of the reasons monoblocks are made, to have very short speaker cables. Preferably 8’ or less. RCA should be 1M or less optimally, no more than 1.5-2M. Balanced XLRs can be run long.
