RCA cable lenght


I have been thinking of going with mono's at my speakers, but i am concerned about the length of the single ended cables. They would have to be at least 28 ft. long. I read somewhere a long time ago that you could not run them over twenty ft.

Could someone enlighten me.

Thanks for your research and explnation.

For space and heat purposes I would rather have the amps behind the speakers.

Now comes the process of which amp to use, but that is another thread for another day.

Thanks again for everyones input.

You can do it, you may get a little degradation but shortness of speaker wires will compensate for it.<<

Incorrect.

Short speaker wires will not "compensate" for any degradation in a system.

Sorry.
Also try to keep them away from any AC power lines.especially in a parallel run.
Audiofeil, what I thought would be obvious to anyone, and I was clearly wrong, was that keeping the wires short would be a benefit that would compensate to some degree for any loss in the longer cable run. I suppose I shall have to join Galileo in praising those of limited understanding who forced him to explain what he thought everyone already knew.
