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?

As said by @jjss49 , shorter is better, all other things being equal. It means less R, L, C to interact with the speakers. So, I suggest you try to borrow a shorter set of cables or buy them with right of return.

Many who go to monoblocks use very short cables, a meter or less. Possible in your case (at least for comparison)?

Both parts of "audible improvement" are hard to predict in someone else’s system; i.e., whether the difference will be audible to you, and whether you will think it an improvement. Not all differences make the sound better or worse.
