I visited my father this weekend and noticed that the wires for his speakers that are connected to the TV is lengthy. I don't know if it is my ears or not but the sound is much better when I disconnect the extra speakers and only use the built-in speaker of the TV.


In a word: no. It takes a whole lot of heavy wire at ridiculous lengths to have even a negligible effect.

That said, I still measure wire at 3 feet pretty precisely at 16 gauge.

Falls well within the tolerance unless you are talking hundreds of feet if not thousands of meters.
