The only place you need 100m cables is on a football field, not in anyones home.

Yah, that was my point... Although in my case it was a large indoor venue. Still, 7 m does not seem like a big deal to me.

Depends on the amp. I think it is long for a speaker cable, myself. Sure, it will work, sound will come out and nothing will blow up. But, my bias for optimizing best sound would be long, low capacitance XLRs and short speaker cables.

MY credibility?! You've gotta be kidding me. It's YOU who are making offensive blanket statements about entire groups of people.

And as far as the topic, maybe check the post RIGHT ABOVE YOUR FIRST POST? That's where I replied to the topic at hand.

Not taking sides but I'm very tired of teenage "food fights".

Can we all agree to stop this crap? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

really! Is this at KJ? The XLs are just fantastic. Yes, i think they were 4.5m length?

Apologies for this Tardy responce LL, indeed, one and the same, however since my move to mono blocks I really only require a meter pair, two at best.

Makes sense. I am sure they can help you find a pair.
