- It is actually relatively unimportant to keep the wires the same length, so
- I wouldn't worry about it for the center speaker. The people who *do*
- worry about this base their concerns on the supposed phase differences
- caused by the different lengths; however, a little thought will soon show that,
- given the prop. delay through any reasonable cable, length differences of
- even twenty feet or more amount to only a few degrees at even high ultrasonic
- frequencies. In short, relax, don't worry, have a homebrew!
