Cable lengths
Yup, go with the same length. The simple answer is that the damping of the two cables is different if they are different lengths, also your high frequencies may roll off differently. (And it's really, really tough to sell two cables of different l... 
What is the best DB level to
If the level you have to play your system at is proving too loud you might also consider having your DVD player modded. While it seems a bit strange, I just had my 38A modded by Dan Wright of ModWright and I found that the increase in transparency... 
How good are the Sony 9000es mods.?
While this doesn't bear directly on your question, I had Dan Wright of ModWright do his level 2 standalone and transport mods put in a SuperClock and ByBee filters on my Pioneer 38A (which is in about the same price range) and the improvement was ... 
Receivers 500 and under?

Opinions on the Bose 901

While I'm a real piker compared to some of the gentlemen here (especially KP), the question we must ask ourselves is does any HT rig, even one used for music 90% of the time really need speakers vertically bi-amped with Acoustic Zen Silver Referen... 
Why has Audiogon suspended "Wanted" ads?
Hey, the feedback numbers on the new system are bogus. Both myself and Audiogon_Arnie are listed as having no feedback points! 
Capability to Search for Local Used Equipment
Sufentanil, I was thinking of that latitude and longitude approach last night also, especially since it wouldn't be that hard to implement. I think that would be a pretty reasonable approach. 
Capability to Search for Local Used Equipment
I'm not sure you're correct there Stehno. Zip codes do not have any sort of distance information built into them, nor are they a standard size, so that is additional data required and processing time to figure out what zipcodes are within X miles ...
