Nope. Doesn't matter in a residential sized install.

The speed of electricity in a 12-gauge copper wire is 299,792,458 meters per second x 0.951 or 285,102,627 meters per second. So unless you have some really really long cable runs, i doubt that you will be able to perceive and difference in timing between the speakers

Guess 15 feet difference in cables won't make a hoot of a difference. Lol

Ha, if you think 12 is overkill, I ran 10 in my living room. The longest run is only 30 feet too...haha. I scaled back for my basement though and stuck with 12.

16 Gauge zip wire - so that they nicely fit under the base boards. One is 25' & the other is 35'.
Works just fine...
