I have alway measured the distance from my speaker to my listening postion when setting up my receiver, but recently questioned if this was correct. Here is why:
My rear speakers are closer than my fronts (6ft vs 12ft), but my rear cable runs are around 25ft whereas, my fronts are around 8ft. It would seem that if any "delay" should be added to the speakers it should be added to the fronts, not the rears due to the cable run, however, if I set it up based on distance of speaker to my listening postion, the rears will have the "delay"...and this will be even more re-inforced due to the cable length.
I realize that any delay would probably be inaudible or very small...but just wanted to hear how people have there setups set up (no pun intended) and if anyone has ever considered this when setting the distances on their receiver.
