I won't argue how this might sound but 8 feet of 24ga speaker wire will have .4 ohms of resistance.Assuming an 8 ohm speaker there will be a loss of power and a loss of damping.
If your amp is rated at a damping factor of 100 ( .08 ohms output impedance) the .4 ohms of resistance in the wire will to added to the output impedance of the amplifier and the effective damping factor will become 16.66
The loss of power will be small, about 1/2db.
Subjectively the result might be pleasing but the system will not be functioning as well as it would with less resistance in the speaker line.
