How important is it to have identical speaker cable length?

Just for devilment: what do you do with the extra cable on one side?

Coil it? No, that adds inductance ...

Drape it over an iron railing? More inductance ...

Route it beside power cords? No, that adds a 60Hz component ...

Here is a question: Are 60’ speaker cables going to effect the wpc?

Some really silly stuff here.
Just love some of these answers.

@speakermaster,

Do you really believe what you posted?  No one can hear the difference between 2 cable lengths.  Unless of course you are God?

I would ask why not keep the length the same? Are you trying to save money? This hobby is all about frivolous spending any where and any time you can. Richard Vandersteen has written and commented on this subject extensively. His conclusion is speaker cable need to be the same length and as short as you can get away with. You are better to have long cable runs in the components than to the speakers.
