is 4 meter speaker cable too long?


I am considering buying a four meter speaker cable from audience on the 'gon and wanted to know if the consensus is that if you don't need a cable that long then 4 meters is too long to use as a speaaker cable.

I would like a 3 meter cable so we are talking about 1 meter too much.

The downside here is there is no used audience cable for sale which is 3 meters long.

You'd be surprised how long a run you can have without it effecting anything. Basically, it's all about the guage and a solid connection. After that you're wasting your money.
Unless you're going to go with really short speaker cables (e.g., 1 metre), and long interconnects--in which case there might be some benefit--I wouldn't worry about using 4-metre cables.
