Odd length speaker cables

Given the considerable cost of most high end speaker cables and corner equipment placement in a non dedicated room I am in need of 18 foot run and a 5-6 foot run. How much detriment coiling 12 feet of cable on one side will have for signal path versus difference if one obtains 2 cables of different length?

Never "coil" speaker wire. It will cause
inductance. As far as the lengths, you're going to get
recommendations from both camps. Many feel that different
lengths don't matter. IMHO, they should be the same length.

If the system is just for casual/background listening, it
probably doesn't matter.
