Oh, thanks for correcting me! Now that you mention it, I'm confused by a memory I have. Wired speakers seem to be less common these days but I remember being told about two decades ago that the "proper" way to install speakers was to run out equal lengths of speaker cable (basically just jacketed copper, afaik) to different speakers even if they weren't equidistant in a room. (This was advice for home installation, not stadium-sized installations.)

Do you suppose there exists some other reason for that, like maybe matching impedance on each cable, or is this likely one of those superstitions that audiophiles fall prey to?






Superstition for sure.
