Mono amps and different length speaker cables

Wondering if there is any noticeable negative effect from using say a 3 meter pair of speaker cables to one set of binding posts on the amp and speaker and using a 2 meter pair of the same brand and model of cable to different binding posts on the amp and speaker. I am using solid state mono amps.

I've never tried it . . . may or may not be noticeable, but why would you do that? I wouldn't unless it was very temporary.

I don't see any big deal in doing that! If the volume on both speakers stay the same then go with it!

Not a good idea as different length cable will have different impedance (resistance)
