Default Speaker Wiring affects phase relationships

Just read this bit from this website http://www.sge-inc.com/expert.htm. The
writer states that a 10-foot distance difference in speaker wiring will make
a sound quality difference, but then suggests that the extra unused length
on one side be coiled up. Wouldn't this act like an inductor limiting higher
frequencies and causing the user a new headache? :-) Or now that the wire is
coiled up on itself, he might get phase-shift interference, from the later
waveform in the top of the coil interacting with the earlier waveform in the
bottom of the coil.

Just wonderin' what you all think of this guy's advice.

By my calculations, assuming the speed of electricity to be only *one tenth*
that of light to be conservative, this 10 foot difference would represent a
1 microsecond delay to one speaker. Not 1 millisecond, 1 _micro_second. HA!



This is why we get information from peer-reviewed literature and not
websites.
