Cable length

What the cables is better to keep shrotest way, speaker or interconnect?
If I make my speaker cables 8'- I need to use interconnect
between preamp and amp around 2m.
If I make my intercoonects under 1m I have to make speaker cables 12'.
My system:
preamp Linn Kairn
amp Golden Tube SE-40
speakers Vandersteen 2CE.
And, by the way, probably somebody has something simular-
what the cable better to use?
Thank you for your help.

Sean, I agreed with your origianl post and I thought David A. Wilson's article mentioned some other significant points as well.

I knew where you were coming from Unsound and appreciate the support. However, i just wanted to make it clear that there are obviously different takes on the same subject and i'd love to hear some of the various points as to why they think / feel the way that they do. Sean

Of course there are practical limits. Adequate distance from components can keep all kinds of grundge (EMI, RF, etc.) at bay.

Sean & Unsound - excellent information.

Anyone that's been to CES or one of Hifi Expos has seen that
Dave Wilson alway uses short interconnects and long speaker
cables. His demo rooms always have great sound.

While I currently run long interconnects/short speaker cables, I was planning to switch things around. Mahalo for
the additional motivation.

Aloha.
