Speaker cable -no shorter than 8FT? T or F

Just an aside; from personal experience, I tend to buy speaker cables 1/2 meter LONGER than I actually need! This can be very helpful should you decide to move your equipment slightly, or if you buy new speakers with terminals in a different location. Nothing like having to buy a new set of cables, because you're short by just 1 foot after moving some of your gear! My personal belief is that a 2 meter run will be easiest to sell on the used market, not too long...not too short!

Perhaps Mapleshade have their speakers more than 8ft from the amp, in which case having a speaker cable of less than 8ft would most certainly compromise the sound.

Seandtaylor99, you're a pip! You cracked me up with your second post! Thanks for the laugh!

As far as speaker cables needing to be at least 8ft. I don't know?? I haven't heard many monoblock users buying 8ft cables. I actually hear some audiophiles wire directly from amps to the speaker internal wires,eliminating speaker terminals.
I would assume this is as short a path as you can make.So what does that tell you?
Some of his ideas sound reasonable but others not.

Year after year, there are many new components.. pre-amps, power amps..etc. that rave on about how they have shortened the single path and length of internal wire.

Listen to them...the shorter the interconnects and speaker wire..the better.
