Coiling excess Speaker cable, is this a problem?

Hello!

I have a question that maybe you could help me with. I have been told that you should keep the lengths of speaker wire the same to each speaker. As a result, I have 2 (BiWired) cables going to each speaker, due to my system set-up, I have about 8' of two cables neatly coiled up next to my system rack. Though I am not detecting any sound reproduction artifacts, are there any potential deleterious problems I may not be aware of? I did take a photograph of this but I could not figure out how to paste it here.

Thanks for your help!

millercarbon "Inductance is the technical term being misunderstood."

That is correct and it has been carefully, thoughtfully, and thoroughly explained to you in simple, concise, andclear language that it is not what you think it is and that you do not understand or comprehend how it applies, operates, and functions in the real world so you invent this "salad" and then add in you’re own radishes, bacan and croutons and then exclaim "I have the best salad and no one else’s comes close to my kind of salad".

Just seeing this, what else is there to do but coil the excess....unless you fold it over back toward speaker and then back towards amp. I’m sure someone will find fault with that too...not much you can do when most recommend the same length of cable per speaker. I coiled mine and I have two cables per speaker, bi wired. I doubt that anyone would here a difference if I uncoiled them.

Thats a bad idea cables should be strait only.

I had several feet of speaker wire jumbled in a heap, like a messy coil. I just straightened it out, not perfectly, but no longer coiled. OMG! Huge difference!

Never coil speaker wire.
