12 ft pair of thick speakers cables?? Can they be cut downt to a 6 ft pair??

I have a 12 foot pair of Harmonic Technology Pro-11 Plus speaker cables. Can they be cut down to a 6 ft pair and re-terminated with WBT banana jacks. The 12 foot pair is awkward and difficult to place, and WILL NOT stay put on "Porcelain  Cable Elevators"   

I  really like the cables and don't want to necessarily sell them  The "new"  Harmonic Technology company blew me off when I ask if they could do it??   Are there outside services companies that will do it for a reasonable price??. 

Thanks,  SJ

professional retermination is possible and it won't decrease value.

connect some lamp wire and get friends to help you do a blind listening test

then, sell them (greater fool theory)

bluejeans cable IIRC, will let you try different cables and return (tho it is a tiime consuming way to re-invent the tone control)

I agree with most guys here. If HT is not willing to re-terminate their own cable (and that's a shame) sell them and look for something else comparable.

I have done so.  Many years ago, but in memory not that big a job.  Cut a 7-foot cable into halves.  Per Shadorne, with the necessary tools can be done neatly.
