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?

Just who, if not you, is the expert?  Try what makes sense , listen and modify, but first get the room acoustics right and only change one thing at  a time.

If I have to go long, it will be because of bass passed through my second FLOOR listening room and anything that I do to tame vibration issues is far more critical than long speaker, or long balanced interconnects.
