Surround Speaker cabling question


since you can set delays different for surround do you need to have equal lwnghts of speker cable for right and left speakers as you do in the front channels?

"For left and right front channels, using excellent quality cabling, would you hear a difference between 1.5m for one side and 5m for the other?"

My opinion is 'no'. I'm running 4- and 9-foot lengths of premium cables to my L/R speakers. The one clear result of matching lengths is bad--the speaker with the longer-than-necessary cable has looser bass because it's seeing a much lower damping factor.
I ended up getting harmonic tech's pro9+ in these lenghts 12 foot(fronts), 11 foot(center),32 feet(surround left) and 43 foot(surround right)
thanks for all you comments,
