BI-wire question

[ht_addict]

I'm going to Bi-wire my new Paradigm Studio 40's and CC470v3 and was wondering should the runs of speaker wire be the same length for the front soundstage(FL: 1ft, FR:7ft, Center: 4ft from amp, so should I make all runs say 8ft). I know the runs should be the same length going from the amps +/- to both +/- terminals on the speakers.

Actually I wouldn't worry about the cables being the same lenght at all...technically they should be but in the real world you'd have to keep your head at the exact same spot for the differeing cable lenghts to be an issue...even then you'd need bat like hearing That said if possible it might make you feel better that they're the same lengh and as we know the mind can me far more influential on what you preceive then what the bench test tell us that it might be worth the investment in time and effort to at least in your mind make them the same.
