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

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 ?

The speakers remain in their original location. Could the gauge of the bluejeanscable be the cause of lossing bass response or perhaps impedence problems? The cable is 14 gauge (Canare 4S11)

Any possibility one wire may have backwards polarity?
