Speaker wire mix-up

I’m in the process of building a dedicated home theater. Because of a mis-labeled spool of speaker wire that I didn’t find out about until it was too late, I have ½ of the room wired with 10ga and the other half is wired with 8ga. The longest run is on the 10ga side and according to a table I found here on Audioholics, 10ga is ok up to 50ft when using a 4 ohm speaker, which I will be using. The run is less than 50ft so I should be ok that way. So now my main concern is, will there be an audible difference from one side of the room to the other because of the different gauges?

Overkill is better than underkill. Shouldn't be an issue......if worried and you can still add more 10g you could always double it up for more overkill. :)
