Length of speaker cables


I just went from 2 channel amp to mono blocks. Is it important that I stop using 4 meter audio quest rocket 88 and downsize to 6 ft? Will there be an audible improvement?

Responding to "" a_shah's post above, specifically ""I don’t like cables that seem to be used as tone control that is what I found with Silver ( bright) or silver gold alloy"".

Ask yourself ""Are the Speaker Cables somehow changing the Frequenc
y & Sheen of the sound, or just Passing Along  ""the Frequency & Sheen of the sound"", that is presented to them from your upstream electronics?

I say the latter is likely the truth, think about it.

All Low Fidelity systems that I have heard lack the Sheen presented by Cymbals; with many exaggerating the Bass through tone controls. 

 
I had mono blocks & went to used Anthoney Gallo 3.1 Speakers with 8 foot high end Silver Plated O2 Free Twisted 12 Gauge Copper Cables (Cables came with the speakers).   I was underwhelmed with the highs, especially Cymbal Sheen.

Later, I built 3 foot long, 5 Strand Pure Silver, (Just under 12 Gauge Total) Teflon coated Speaker Wires & connected them directly to the Mono Blocks.

WOW did the highs ever Jump out & Cymbals had that Sheen, just as in real life.

I do not know if it was the Length or Silver, but the combination was spectacular!.
