Speaker Cables, One side longer- bad idea?



How bad is it to have one speaker cable longer than the
other? The lengths would be 10ft and 16ft. Basically
I would like to avoid having to coil up 6 ft of cable
on the short side of the speaker runs.

How bad is this?
How does it affect the sound??

Thanks

Wow! Science rearing its ugly head! Such nerve. Obviously the golden eared listeners can hear such phase difference, and then some. To introduce arguments using numbers, you silly person... You have to own Bose 901s, right? By the way, to put out such utterances you have to have a scientific background, no? Come on fess up. How about something on spiking every known component, I 'spose you have numbers on that too, eh? Geez, you're no fun. You probably are dead right, but most people participating in Audiogoninsane don't like this silly scientific mumbo jumbo, keep the numbers out of this, O.K.? You can use expressions and epithets such as "inner detail", "coherency", "grain", oh, and "lifting of veils" has not been used in a long time, lots of folks remember that one fondly, "slam" is always good (don't know how well it applies to phase problems, though), "back to front depth" is quite wonderful in its redundancy, well you see how this game is played now. Physics, you silly man...
Great thought piece. Where can I get a yard stick marked in nanometers? I'am sure a silver stick would measure with more sonic accuracy.
Cable lengths should be equal to preserve staging & imaging charactaristics. I guess that's what he'saying...
