    i under stand that recivers dont hear i asked the qeustion to find out if you dou set the distance from the reciver to the speaker since there are different lenths in speaker wire then the reciver could make up for any delays in sound

    You are talking electrical vs sound speed, night vs. day. Don't worry about the speaker wire length.

    The speaker wire length will have no bearing on what you hear. As stated earlier, set the distance as measured from the speaker to the primary listening position.
