Thanks for your reply!
I asked because as said I would like to get a used (to cut costs) second set of speaker cables for biwiring, but unfortunately 3,5m (12 ft) is not often offered second hand. So that's why I wondered if I could use a more common set of 8ft or 10ft SC on one side and my 12 ft SC on the other side without a negative influence on the sound quality. I know that some engineers say it could not make a difference, in accordance with what you said. Others say that because of the complex effect of impedance, induction, capacity of the cable, you should best use same length for L and R.
But what I am curious of if anyone using a good audio system actually tried it and heard a negative effect on SQ and not only approach this aspect theoretically?
Regards.
