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.

Thanks for your experience. I'm thinking of going raw wire as my connector.
@yogiboy @mike_in_nc  Thanks. I'm open to finding out the same result. The closure of knowing will be worth it!
@dekay  Interesting experiment. I'll try that next. I'm going with bare ends for sure.

I heard no audible differences between my 1.5M and 3M speaker cables. Both cables are built by same manufacturer. 

With each amp behind each speaker, 16" speaker cables (no connector on speaker side), was zero difference to a pair of 20' cable (with connectors on speaker side).
