Speaker Cable Too Short What to do?


Greetings, I just bought a pair of expensive mit cables but one of them does not quite reach my amp by a foot. What an idiot I am!!!!
I am playing around with the furniture to try to make things work, but is there anything else I can do? Can I use an mit jumper to extend the short cable? Will that degrade the sound? Does it matter that one speaker cable will be longer than the other?

Thanks guys-my only problem is some people seeme to enjoy knocking a product then trying to justify it.If a product works fine in a system thats all that matters.Not its cost,reputation,reviews or how many are for sale on AudiogoN.The fact is there may be lots of MIT for sale here but then again,LOTS of MIT is out there.
I've heard all the MIT bashing before but I know MIT T-2's improved my system.I auditioned Kimber 8 TC and Harmonic Tech.Pro-11's and liked the MIT the best.Sure some will say,"MIT's a bandaid,well ya shouldnt have to put a bandaid on it" I don't feel the MIT's are a bandaid.They reducesed some upper mid brightness I had without losing anything in return.Then you will hear "you should have replaced the source,or the amp,or the speakers,or a tube,or room treatment,or,or,or...The MIT worked for me and they arent crap in 'my' system anyway.They may be crap in another system just like 100 other cables may be.
I propose AudiogoN audiophile's STOP product bashing and open there minds up more.
A reminder, gentlemen: Asamuelson has SPECTRAL gear, and Spectral strongly recommends MIT/spectral cable for SAFETY reasons. That makes playing around with other cable brands (as Fatparrot suggested) very "adventurous". He also seems to like the sound (as David99 notes)... For both reasons above, I respectfully submit that discussing the sonic qualities of OTHER cables vs. MIT in this thread is, at best, an academic excercise.
Asamuelson asked about the LENGTH of cables -- not the brand/model of cables.
I believe he'll have to seriously reconsider placement of his amp/ system, and not tamper with the wires -- unless MIT themselves offer a financially viable alternative. MIT/spectral cables are expensive, & relatively rare in the used market. Good luck!
In a lighter vein, you may wish to avail yourself of a new cable stretching service........????
