I recently ran cable in-wall in my living room. It required 32 ft of in-wall cable to go from my electronics rack to the speaker location on the opposite side of the fireplace. The other speaker location is next to the rack (about 2ft away from it).
I know that the conventional wisdom is to have equal length runs to both speakers in order to ensure equal resistance and capacitance, and I can do that. But if I do, I will need to coil up the 32 ft of cable or else my wife will kill me, which is also an audiophile no-no since it creates inductance. My question is which should I do, run 32 ft of cable to the speaker that is next to my rack and coil it up, or run 3 ft of cable in a pretty much straight line?
In case it is relevant, I use an active crossover as part of my system (Marchand XM-66) which has controls that I could use to adjust the gain levels to the two speakers.
Thanks for the advice!
