Re: Speaker cable lengths

Don't worry about the extra length.  The extra resistance is negligable as 
well as the inductance which isn't noticable at audio frequencies.  The
only 
thing that matters is that you use a large enough wire size.  E.g.: 28 ga.

wire for speakers is foolish.  The only thing cables such as "Monster"
have 
is that they are heavy gauge and flexable.  The was an article in Audio 
magazine years ago with a study of speaker wire.  Don't worry, you'll be 
just fine with what you've got.
