I would only defend matching speaker wire lengths on the basis of matching their resistances (although it should already be very small) so that there will be identical speaker interaction (and thus, better frequency response matching) for each side. I know this is a very minor effect, but if it only costs a couple bucks more, why not eliminate this potential (again, albeit very small) problem?
