one short and one long speaker cable work?

moving! new equipment arrangement requires one 2 meter speaker cable and one 6 meter cable. I have acquired a pair of AudioQuest Aspen speaker cables 19' each. should I chop one off where I need it and attach the other at 19'??

I was always told to keep speaker cable length equal or as close to equal between sides as possible, as impedance difference would become an issue. Though, that may have changed.

I was referring to each pair of speaker wire. Having them significantly unmatched in length is supposed to be a no no.

I would never do that.....same length for me....both interconnects and speaker wire.
