Un-equal length speaker cable advice??

Patrick (Lugnut) offers one suggestion, and I'll follow it with the comment that Alpha-Core Goertz "MI" series cables are also fine for use in unequal lengths. See their web site for details about their cable: www.alphacore.com/goertz

What I did is use Ocos wire. I found two different pairs that suited the right and left channel lengths. I then combined them in a shotgun manner. Really helped widen the soundstage and add a nice boost to the low end. Also, when I go to resell them, I can sell them as two seperate pair or in the application that I designed them for.

Good Listening,

MIT and Transparent say their cables can be used in unequal length runs.

I had a similar situation a few years when I was running a 12 foot pair of AP Oval 9 when my equipment rack was on the right side. I never tried unequal lengths, so I can't comment on any sonic differences. I just felt more at ease using equal lengths.

I love the AU24 as well, so far my favorite speaker cable ever. Skinnier than zip cord, but full-sounding. Just beautiful with voices and acoustic instruments. Although they can be purchased in biwired configuration, I understand that Audience recommends using single runs with jumpers. Do you feel the Martin Logans have benfitted from biwiring?

Nice system J.D.!

Depending on the aesthetic appeal (meaning allowed by your s.o. if any) you can instead of coiling lay the cable in a narrow half ellipse that leaves from behind the speaker to it's side and returns to it. You can "fix" the wire to the floor by a proper device i.e. blue tack or removable adhesive to follow the intended path. Got to get creative if a carpet is involved... Just an idea I've been using for some time with good results. Hope this helps!
