Do I Need Bigger Lengths Of Speaker Cable

[admin_exported]

i want to bi-wire my speakers to amp but i only have a pair of two and a half metre qed micro cables (had more but cant find them). Now i can half the pair ive got and use them and they would reach the amp no problem as the speakers are close but i was told you should use 6 metre speaker cables so need to know if what i have is ok to use for now or do i need to go and buy longer lengths of speaker cable.

Who told you that you needed 6m? Just use what you have if they are long enough.

Were you told that by someone trying to sell a pair of 6m cables? Complete rubbish I'm afraid. If your confident in cutting your speaker cables in half and re-terminating them you will have no issues with the shorter cable lengths.

I think this is probably a misunderstanding caused by the fact Naim used to say 6m speakers cables were the minimum for its amps. No such requirement with your Marantz amp, or indeed current Naim models.
