Due to limmited space the only place i can place my speakers is next to the mains socket supplying the system,so the speaker cable follows the mains cable. will this affect the sound ???

hey there
'Mains cables carry relatively high alternating currents that can be induced into audio cables running alongside them, even if the audio cable is well screened. The longer the distance the cables run alongside each other, the greater the amount of interference (usually hum) that will be induced into the signal cable. When audio and mains cables must cross, try to arrange the crossing to be at right angles, as this is the angle of minimum coupling'
this is the tech advice quoted from a well known music recording magazine.[/quote]
He's talking about speaker wires, not signal leads. There is absolutely no problem with running speaker wires alongside mains wires.
