Speaker Cable Too Short What to do?


Greetings, I just bought a pair of expensive mit cables but one of them does not quite reach my amp by a foot. What an idiot I am!!!!
I am playing around with the furniture to try to make things work, but is there anything else I can do? Can I use an mit jumper to extend the short cable? Will that degrade the sound? Does it matter that one speaker cable will be longer than the other?

A reminder, gentlemen: Asamuelson has SPECTRAL gear, and Spectral strongly recommends MIT/spectral cable for SAFETY reasons. That makes playing around with other cable brands (as Fatparrot suggested) very "adventurous". He also seems to like the sound (as David99 notes)... For both reasons above, I respectfully submit that discussing the sonic qualities of OTHER cables vs. MIT in this thread is, at best, an academic excercise.
Asamuelson asked about the LENGTH of cables -- not the brand/model of cables.
I believe he'll have to seriously reconsider placement of his amp/ system, and not tamper with the wires -- unless MIT themselves offer a financially viable alternative. MIT/spectral cables are expensive, & relatively rare in the used market. Good luck!
In a lighter vein, you may wish to avail yourself of a new cable stretching service........????

Asamualson, this is a great site, unfortuantely you will learn what Tim the Tireguy mentioned best in another post, when it comes to opinions on eq and cables most people highly recommend.... what they use. Good luck with MIT/Spectral situation - great system IMHO...
