How important is it to have identical speaker cable length?

I have a situation where my speakers are different distances from my amp. Would it be wrong to pair a 3-meter cable to one speaker and a 2-meter cable to the other or is it really just a theoretical issue? Many thanks in advance for your thoughts!

This depends on the wire gauge of your zip cord ;-)

I personally cannot stand the Audiohaulics guy.  His videos are unwatchable to me.  But if you trust him…..

Don’t do different length…otherwise you always will fill stigmatized time to time…also when you will be ready for upgrade experiments, same length cables are much easy to sell.
