Speaker cable length with monoblock amps?

The idea that speaker cables have to be a certain minimum length strikes me as an audiophile myth too - it likely arises because people who do not understand physics have confused cables with extremely high freq. waveguides used in microwave, radar, etc.

just like 'skin effect' another red herring

Sure Geoff, draw me a picture....draw me a pint while you are at it :-)
I miss Bob over on Audio Asylum.   I am not convinced his 5-foot cable philosophy is correct but he certainly had a sort of down home way of looking at things and a good wit.  He might have had fun with some of the current cable and fuse threads around here.  Gone too soon.

I was with Bob and Curl at CES a couple times. Among others things Bob had great ears. Plus I had some of his TG Audio 5 feet long speaker cables I traded him for, and they were fabulous. Thus, I'm inclined to believe the five foot story.

Why five feet, rather than, say, four or six? C'mon man, a little common sense is called for.
