Length- Speaker wire/interconnect ?s


Hi all. Is it better to sacrifice interconnect length or speaker wire length when setting up a system and why? Now I have 1m interconnects but am looking for good 20 ft biwire speaker cable. Would it be better to get longer interconnects and look for shorter cables or the other way around? Thanks again for all your responses... Baz

Thanks all, I'm getting the sense that shorter speaker wire is most desirable. But when we talk about interconnects, I guess all I really need to lengthen is the connect from my preamp to my amp. Everything else can stay close to the preamp. For now, that's seven cables - one for each channel from my lex dc-2 to my two krell amps - kav250a and kav500. Does that sound right to everyone? Then I can shorten at least my main speaker lines, although the other 5 channels - CC, LR Fronts, LR rears - need to stay as they are to reach the speakers. Thanks again all -!
