Hi Smokey!

In theory, you're perfectly correct. In my case, though, the 12 ga. wires were 14' long, the 14 ga. wires were 8' long. My speakers liked the 12 ga. wires but not the 14 ga. (despite their shorter length). I'm thinking I'm just going to cut those 12 ga. wires in half, running dual runs of 7' each.
