Any audible differences due to unequal lengths of speaker cable will be
more a case of attenuation than one of different damping factors. The
sage advice offered in reputable Hi-Fi mags half a century ago for those
concerned about loudspeaker wiring was to invest in multi-stranded cooker
cable (multi-stranded purely to alleviate the issue of physical
stiffness). The advice, though over-kill in most cases, was perfectly
sound and remains so to this day.


cooker cable is money wasted, as you have just yourself demonstrated.


Also very difficult to make a decent connection to speaker and amp
terminals. A decent 2.5mm twin speaker cable is overkill for most.
