Transparent XL speaker cable Gen 5 FS

[GuillaumeB]

Sorry to be a bit OT here, Guillaume. I could never afford these beasts, and it must make sense from a financial point of view to only have as much as you need, but I have a question.  Having different lengths of speaker cable, do you notice any difference in SQ between the channels? Do you have to compensate with the balance control? In my system, the amp sits near the left hand speaker, while the right hand one is three meters away. I was told to keep the lengths of speaker cable the same to avoid any mis-match in sound from each speaker.

Alex.

No need to compensate these are according to Transparent optimised for the different lengths. Whether you believe that is possible or not is a different matter.

There wasn't much of a price difference between the different lengths, because my speakers are quite wide apart having 5M on one side is a bit of a faff and an eyesore.

Regarding different lengths it was recently pointed out to me that the signal travels at 300KM/sec and 70% of speed of light, so if we are talking just a few metres...

If I were a dedicated speaker cable seller, I would of course advise you to the same length .....
At a difference of 4m, the signal arrives at the LS on the longer cable to 0.0000000133 seconds later.

Well quite! Now who is going to take these off me?! Do I need to offer cash back or something?!
