IC=interconnect
LS=loudspeaker
Which is better to have ? longer IC with shorter LS cables or vise versa
thanks

These are very critical and are much affected by length & conductivity of wires. However, for loudspeaker they are far higher than IC's which are less critical. (IMHO)

as a compromise, due to site conditions, i'd stick to longer ICs and shorter LS - even if many says otherwise. i've seen the maths, but i trust my ears more.
stay cool!
