Speaker wire length for correct maggie placement?

Posted by yemtig@yahoo.com (A) on November 3, 2015 at 21:39:37

If I am planning on putting my components (preamp, amp, turntable, etc) in an audio rack in the middle and hooking up my 1.7's on each side, what length of speaker wire do I need to purchase to account for speaker placement (from back of wall and distance between each speaker)?? 10-12' or so? or is that too long? Looks like most of the system pics have like 8' runs of speaker wire, so I may have answered my question.

I know the general rule is to setup the speakers about 3' away from the back wall and to maintain a speaker separation of 50-60% of the distance from your listening area to the speakers. I haven't really decided where I'm putting them in my house, but there are a few areas. One is a 22'x 21' room, another is 14'x 11', and yet another is inbetween these two at 13.5'x 17'... I know placement of my speakers will determine that, but what is a safe length to allow me some flexibility to experiment with placement?
