Cable Length for Center Channel?

Hello,

Should the length of the center channel cable in an HT setup be the same length as the cables to the left & right fronts?

I have heard many a difference or two in my system with different lengths of cables. Can you honestly tell me that your left and right speaker cables are different lengths? I doubt they are that different.

This is to insure that the amplifier loading is the same for all three. The length has nothing to do with the propagation time.
