I don’t have that problem, I need and use 4 meter pair, actually 2 pair (biwire)....I doubt there is an audible difference between a few feet and what amounts to 13.1 feet (4m), especially if using quality cables.
Your short speaker cable experiences
I'm going to compare my present speaker cables with the shortest runs I can find -- perhaps as short as 2.5 feet from mono block to speaker.
I'm curious if anyone tried comparing their longer speaker cables against short runs of other ones and whether it made a difference or not.
What changed? Did it cause you to reposition things?
Happy to hear stories. No trolling about "wire is wire," please.

@audioguy85 What problem are you referring to? I'm asking for people who have compared longer and shorter runs. You doubt there is an audible difference, but may I ask if you actually tried comparing things or are you just paper doubting? |
I've been using 10' cables which were longer than I need. I just made a pair of 5' cables with low mass connectors and love the results. When you go ultra short there is not much to them, you might consider low mass connections (to do low mass right, you should change out the binding posts on both the amp and the speaker. I use BFA type connectors on my cables. KLEI makes low mass connectors.) I have a friend who does just what you do, balanced interconnects to his monoblocks and 18" speaker cables. He swears by it.
