Somewhere I read a 20% variation in cable length is acceptable. It would depend on the level of your neurosis and the class of your equipment as well. I've read also that coiled wired is a no-no as well. What's a person to do? I perfer equal lengths on expensive cables, resell value, but on inexpensive cables...Recently wired a small/inexpensive system together w/14' and 11' lengths of AQ Type 4 wire. Can't hear any difference.
Un-equal length speaker cable advice??
Hi all,
I have always used equal length interconnects and speaker cables,...but a new home has an ideal set-up, because of a fireplace, of one speaker being 3 feet away from the power amp and the other being 10.
So....I either have a bundle of wire coiled up behind the close speaker or have unequal length cables.
Any advise is welcome..and any actual experience is much welcome.
Best, Jim
