Surround Speaker cabling question

since you can set delays different for surround do you need to have equal lwnghts of speker cable for right and left speakers as you do in the front channels?

My opinion is 'no'. I'm running 4- and 9-foot lengths of premium cables to my L/R speakers. The one clear result of matching lengths is bad--the speaker with the longer-than-necessary cable has looser bass because it's seeing a much lower damping factor.
