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?

Just to be clear steven0713 when saying you will definitely hear worthwhile improvement with quality cable I mean quality cable, not that 4s11 stuff. You can spend a lot and still have crap if you're not careful. 
Right. If all you do is cut one down I doubt you'll hear any difference. Or put it this way, what little there is will pale to nothing compared to the amp. Whereas you could easily upgrade the cable enough to be an obviously greater improvement than the amp. It all depends on the cable. The biggest impact of length by far is that the longer the more it costs and so the less quality you can afford.
The improvement will be huge. But not because of the shorter length, but only if you use this as an opportunity to upgrade to better cables. That will be huge.
