Speaker cable Question?

I have a 8foot pair of Analysis plus oval 9 cables. I have a pair of JR-201 mono's. I don't realy need 8-feet of cable, 4-feet will do just fine. I want to go with a Cardas cable.
My question is do I need to stay with 8-feet do to the resistants of the length of the 8-foot cable or can I go with a 4-foot cable and still get the proper sound?
Is there a reason why people use 8-foot cables most of the time?
Thanks
Russ

Well, I am an EE also, but tend to use simple logic before delving into any analysis.
Logic says active speakers must use cable lengths of less than a foot, and I never heard of any drawbacks.
