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.

I asked this question earlier and nobody responded. Has anybody heard a difference when using unmatched cable lengths? If the answer is no, then the whole question is effectively put to rest.
About 25 years ago when I was at a dealer listening to some speakers the owner was making speaker cables (from bulk) for a customer (me). After cutting the 1st 10ft and started on the 2nd there was a kink in the cable at 5ft. So he cut out the kink and made the second 10ft cable. For grins and giggles he put 1 10ft cable on 1 speaker and the 5ft on the other. It sounded like someone hit a reverb switch. Like the room just got a little bigger. I thought I liked it until he put the other 10ft cable back on. That said it was minor but I did hear a difference.
