  Equipment rack off to one side, can't go in the middle, unfortunately.
  No audible problem.
  Quite the opposite!
  Probably sounds Better that way...

    I agree, nothing sitting between the speakers.....
    turntABLE BEING IN NEXT ROOM OVER IS ISOLATED FROM SPEAKERS.... a good thing.

  I'd leave well enough alone. You'll never hear a difference at the lengths you mention.(13' and 18') Now if an opportunity pops up in the future to shorten the 18'run to match the 13'run, I'd go for it. This more for peace of mind as once again, I doubt you'd hear a difference.

    thanks for the advice....
    Right now the Positive speaker input is Brand 1 of 14 awg, and the negative speaker input is brand 2 of 14 awg.
    I have new wire on order of Brand 3 that is 14 awg, enough for both, Positive and Negative runs.
    My electronics are in adjacent room with the speaker wire running thru a wall, thus the different cable lengths.
    Should I make both speaker cables the same length and coil the excess of the shorter cable side?
    thanks....

      I agree with madisonears below. Equal lengths, big loops with no "tight" coils.

      I would never coil any type of signal cable, but make big open loops.
      berate is 8 and benign is 9

        I am thinking an "s' shape....
        thanks, good idea to increase the length to make cables the same......
