I read somewhere years ago that you want to use similar lengths of speaker wire for each speaker so the resistance of the wire to each speaker is the same. So the downside of my method of going around the perimeter of the room is you have one speaker wire that's 30 feet long and the other wire that only needs to be a few feet long. You may want to have both wires be 30 feet long and just have a big coil of extra wire by the one nearby speaker.

Or maybe that article I read was typical high fidelity snobbish bullshit and you can't actually hear a difference with different length wires until you get into hundreds of feet.
