Should all speaker wires in my home theater be the same length?

I'm about to install speaker wire in my home theater, which is a 18 x 14 foot room. The longest speaker wire would need to about 50 feet. Since that is the length of the longest speaker wire, do all the speaker wires need to the same length for best sound?

No, they do not. The difference will be insignificant if at all existant. It's perfectly okay to use different lengths of cable since the sound will be as good as when you use cables of the same length.

I've asked a couple of people to confirm this, and yes, they agree, as long as cables are of good quality all around. Hope this helps. Sources: My opinion .

No The rate at which electricity travels, they will not need to be the same length. As long as there is not a HUGE difference. I wouldn't try it with some being one foot long and others being 100 feet long..

No. The effect of coiling up the excess cable is far worse than the wires being different lengths. Coiled speaker wire can induce current as well as pick up and introduce RF into the system.

Save money, cut to length.

The more cable or wire you use the more chance you have for feedback or interference> some stereo dealers recommend suppression cable to eliminate noise. I normally leave about 18 inches of "play" in my wiring to allow some slack. Think of the wiring on an auto.

The further it is to the souce the greater the chance of problems.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
