I think it goes like this.
IF one can tell the difference between speaker cables, then there is probably either an intrinsic "filtering" effect of the cable itself, OR, the resistance/capacitance/foo, has an effect on the amplifier so changing its output characteristics.
Therefore, IF one can hear a difference between speaker cables, then one would expect that the length of the cable will affect either the resistance/capacitance/foo or the length of the "filter". So, one would expect different lengths to affect the sound. Whether this is noticeable when there is a 10% difference between lengths I have no idea.
My experience.
In yesterday's system configuration I needed 8 metre lengths of speaker cable, which is a lot (£).
I tried, 2.5mm sq mains cable.
It sounded CRAP! Unlistenable. Unbearable.
My 6 metres of Avondale Blacklink sounds much better (OK - it's not 8 metres) and the "run" would have led to divorce.
My 6 metres of NVA LS2 sounds different again (better defined bass - but a bit "thin") and the "run" would still have led to divorce.
My conclusion.
With my amps (Avondale 135's phase 3), my speakers Epos ES25's, speaker cable makes a difference.
Logically then I should aim to have approximately the same lengths of cable.
But I can't afford an 8 metre pair of "good" cable
So being a pragmatist (and not wishing to become divorced) I've moved my amps and speakers to get the shortest run I can (2.5metres - amps equally distant from each speaker) and will now sell my longer cables and buy some short lengths of "better" cable.
Maybe.
