Length of speaker cable effect bass response?

Due to my room and wife's decorating tastes, I am using 30' runs of bluejeanscable for my speaker cable. It is biwired. However, I seem to be missing some bass response compared to when I had 8' runs of speaker cable by Tara Labs, biwired shot gun. Is the 30' run too long to carry bass information? Thanks

I have an NAD int amp, Usher speakers and 30' run of bluejeanscable in biwire config. I have had the cables in my system for 4 months or so.

Did the speakers get moved during the redecorating?

If so, the new location for the speakers is probably far more responsible for any change in bass response than the wire length. This assumes the wire is an appropriate gauge for the speakers and amp involved.

The length of your run should have NO effect wahtspever upon the output of the bass. If you had said 300 ft., well then maybe, but not 30 ft...

Assuming nothing else has changed, the Tara Labs may simply have more bass than the Blue Jeans.

Any chance of moving things back to where they were ?
