Yeah - if it only were so short.
A typical woofer voice coil can have 30+ feet of small gauge magnet wire!
Tweeters are tiny gauge, but can still be over 10 feet.
And you are correct - it certainly is compensated for, but so also is the internal wiring of the speaker, yet there are some who feel a burning distrust of the designers of their 'wunder-speker' and will actually use premium wire to redo the insides. IMO if the designers are that incompetent one should take a pass on the entire design - know what I mean?
