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.

Depending on the difference in length, maybe? A few feet difference, probably not. I can almost guarantee the variation in the crossover of the speakers, or even on the amp side will be much bigger than a few feet of cable.

Some people will disagree, but how many people rip their crossover apart to guarantee that each component right to left is within less than 1% difference? Even the coil on driver to driver is probably bigger than that.

"Cables are reactive components (inductance, capacitance, resistance, plus dielectric and wire variables)"

This is true but any change caused by cable length in the above is minor to any variation in crossover components in the speaker.
