Re: Speaker cable lengths

You will not gain anything by shortening the length of your cable a few 
feet. You WONT hear the difference.   Dont bother shortening both sides
for 
performance reasons either. Once again, you WONT hear the difference. If
was 
a long cable run of 100 feet or so, it would possibly be measurable to a 
"trained" ear. Otherwise you just wasting time.  However, certainly
shorten 
it for asthetic reasons if needed.
