I have wondered this too. Expecially since I have such bass heavy speakers now. I read an interesting footnote in one of michael fremer's articles. He said the 8 foot and 20 foot analysis plus oval 9 cables sounded sonically equivalent. I compared my six foot biwire oval 9's to 11 foot OCOS cables. Interestingly, the oval 9 cables played noticably louder than the sumiko cables !
I have a tube amp sitting between to my bass heavy vandersteen 5's. I have to wonder if the massive bass of these things is shaking my tube amp up too much.
Richard Vandersteens advice in the vandersteen setup manual is pretty clear cut: Short everywhere. If you have to go long, go long with interconnects. My local hifi dealer, echohifi, says the same.
I recall an article by Jonathan scull where he remarked that getting all your equipment to an acoustically quiet area will improve your sonics above the loss of clarity from cables. Then again, these are guys who have access to free $10,000 nasa-can't-afford-them interconnect cables.
Help!
