It's a function of speaker impedence and cable electrical properties. If your speakers have a nice high impedence they'll be more resistant to asymmetrical cabling, especially if they're electrical characteristics (LCR) are low, like bigger Nordost, etc. If your speakers drop into the 2-3 ohm range anywhere then I'd be careful NOT to use high capacitance nor skinny cables in general, and especially asymmetrically.
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
