Frank1938 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 1 hour ago, Harleywood said: Cut to fit placement of each speaker or both channels cut to same length? Due to room layout I'll have one speaker about 6 feet from amp and the other about 12 feet. I've got my cables cut now at 15 feet each. I often like to move my speakers around as well so are there any advantages to cutting the wires to the exact length you need like signal degradation over a longer wire and such? McIntosh recommends keeping the cable lengths equal. Here is the recommendation for cable size at 8 ohms: 25 feet = 14AWG, 50 feet=12AWG, 100 feet=10AWG. Don't think you will need 8 or 12AWG at 15 feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter P. Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I can't believe you people are worried about signal loss due to excessive speaker wire length. That's not important; I'd be concerned about time delay differences... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 29 minutes ago, Peter P. said: time delay differences In wifi/remote yes. In a cable, a signal would traverse five times the earth's circumference in about a second - or less than a nanosecond (1/1000,000,000 sec) in a speaker cable. My ears aren't that good Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
