Shortening speaker cables

I have a pair of audioquest CV4 with the DBS pack. Can anyone tell me if I can shorten the length myself or do I have to send them back to AQ

Unless you're cables are extremely long, say 25', I'd leave well enough alone. Once went from a 10' run of AQ Type 4 to a 5' run of the same cable. I actually ended up liking the system synergy presented by the original 10' run better. For the record, amp was a CJ MV 50. Perhaps a tube amp/cable interface issue, but just my experience. YMMV

  My experience also and I now run 2.5m or 3.0m SCs. My current ones are 3.0m long for convenience but also sound really good :)
