Speaker cable length with monoblock amps?

If you position a monoblock amp close to your speaker (say within a foot of the speaker.) Would the shortest length cable, say 2' be the way to go?

Certainly if I was buying new that would be a major consideration. I use mono blocks that would work with a 4’ cable but I have an 8’ set and cross them behind the amps ie left amp is on the right side as I look at the speakers and so on

Yes I could have them (SR) make me up a set of short cables for $10k but who wants to pay this much for jumpers? As another poster suggested one option to a “free” set of cables is to buy a 10’ set, have it cut and reterminated and sell the remaining 6’ as a clean set. AQ is a really good brand to do this with as they will change up any of their cables at cost (although personally I have never liked the AQ speaker cables)
