Thanks everyone for your patience. I have a million questions and some of these are non-conventional, but hey I don't know the answer.

When using wire to a pair of speakers, does the length for both need to be exactly the same? I know that with many of the audio delay features on receivers, you can compensate for different wire lengths between fronts, centers, surrounds, etc. But what about the wire length between your two front speakers? Do many of you buy speaker wire premade at a certain length, or do you cut it yourself?
