Odd length speaker cables

Given the considerable cost of most high end speaker cables and corner equipment placement in a non dedicated room I am in need of 18 foot run and a 5-6 foot run. How much detriment coiling 12 feet of cable on one side will have for signal path versus difference if one obtains 2 cables of different length?

OP I strongly doubt that you would hear any difference at all. For resale purposes I’d  consider buying from a Co that will reterminate the long cable into a more desirable pair.  Some are reasonable and some aren’t. Ive had great luck with AQ. It would only make sense if you’re spending a lot of money. If not just buy and enjoy.

Coiling is detrimental to sound quality  and 2 different lengths is bad as well.
