I have an onkyo home theatre receiver and I'm using monster xp speaker
wire. how critical is it that the lengths of my speaker wires for my
front
left and right speakers be the exact same length? or if they are not,
what
would be an appropriate difference? 5 feet? 10 feet?

None if you can avoid it.

I think it would only make a difference in the unlikely event that the
wire
were so small and the length of one side so long that a large difference
in
resistance existed. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

Slightly disagree. Why take the chance when you are only talking about a few
dollars difference.

AFAIK the Monster xp line is 16 gauge, so this may make length matching even
more important.
