Off the bat -- I'm from the short ic, long spkr. cable school.
I recently moved and the best setup option requires shorter speaker cables (though still long) than at my previous apt. I'd like to use different lengths for left (16.5 ft.) and right (10.5 ft.). Think it'd make a noticeable difference in timing?
The only cable I'm aware of that claims different lengths for R/L are fine is OCOS, which I don't even know still is available. At any rate I prefer using the same spkr. wire I've used for decades, which is Discovery.
Views/experience?
