Your short speaker cable experiences

I'm going to compare my present speaker cables with the shortest runs I can find -- perhaps as short as 2.5 feet from mono block to speaker.

I'm curious if anyone tried comparing their longer speaker cables against short runs of other ones and whether it made a difference or not.

What changed? Did it cause you to reposition things?

Happy to hear stories. No trolling about "wire is wire," please.

The speaker cable is 8'' long with bare ends. And a second mono block amp underneath each speaker with a 12'' long speaker cable again with bare ends. There was a very, very, very minuscule difference in bass impact compared to the 8' long cables again with bare ends I was previously using. Also, all cables are DIY the same type/brand 14AWG. To my knowledge, speaker cables should always be as short as possible even if there is no audible differences. Mike
