3-Meter vs. 10-Foot Long Speaker Cables

I know that this probably sounds like a silly, if not a stupid, question....

But I am currently using 2 separate pairs (Audioquest Caldera) of 3-meter long speaker cables in a bi-wire setup from amp to speakers. I am thinking of upgading one pair for the mid/high drivers to Audioquest Kilimanjaro or Everst. However, all I can find on Audiogon are cables that are 10 feet long....

So, would it cause any sonic problem if I were to use a 10-foot speaker cable pair for the mid/high drivers and a 3-meter pair for the bass? Three meter is 9 feet 10 inches, so it is 2 inches shorter than 10 feet.

Thanks for the help!

No. Enjoy your new cables.

That is a zero problem situation.

Here's the real problem: the way we audiophiles think, as you sit in front of our rig, you'll forever wonder whether or not you hear a difference and you'll never be completely satisfied until you either have two 3 meter pairs for 2 10 foot pairs or have tried the 3 meter for the mid/high and the 10 foot for the bass. :)
