Hi.When I said "short" speaker cables, I mean not over 12ft, equal length for EACH stereo channel.
I used to run some 15ft speaker cable each channel. But when I reduced the cable to about 10ft after I design-built a new audio rack for my gears, as explained earlier, I found it helps make sound better, among other upgrades, e.g. power line filter, etc. etc.
Yes, some, though not many, amps are designed with a dummy load incorporating a certain capacitance+inductance+resistive network to make way for the amp to work 'comfortably' with most commercial brandname speakers. But I am surprised your amp would be getting so
'sensitive' to really short speaker cables.There could be other pre-existing conditions in your system that could your amp getting so sensitive to too short speaker cable length.
