Uneven speaker cable lengths?


I switched back to Vandersteens a while back and am trying to extract the last bit out of the setup. I have been using Cardas Clear with great success. However Clear can not be biwired, and Clear Beyond is out of my range.

Would I notice a difference if I use a 2m pair on one side and a 3m pair on the other side.

I am currently trying Clear Reflection biwired, and the biwired setup is an improvement in many ways. But the Clear is more to my liking.

In theory, a longer cable will have higher resistance.
This will influence the damping factor of your amplifier, which will, again in theory influence the ability of your amplifier to have control over your loudspeakers, wihich would be a little diffirent for both loudspeakers.
I think the question can it be heard all depends on the system, the listener and the length the cables differ.

You state you want to extrct every last bit out of your set-up, than I wouldn't use different lengths:)
