Congrats on your purchase of AVR and speakers.

I dont know about cables.

I am interested to know, if left and right surrounds can have different length. Is it ok to have different length for left and right channels (surround/front) or should it always be same? Experts shall throw some light on this

You can try Belden speaker cables - 12 awg
Sub cable will be different.

I use same length cables for the surrounds and also the same length cables for the front speakers. On using a grossly different length, I noticed a drop in loudness in the speaker with the longer cable. I tried with a thick monster cable and yet this effect due to resistance was seen.
In stereo this led to a shifted soundstage.

alrite guys ....actually spoke to guy from mission....he said by varying lengths it shud not matter...he did say that sound quality may suffer a bit..but asked me to get 16 guage cables for them..

so i finally did purchase the cables ...

I got a 30m roll for 1070 18 guage dac brand
For the SW i purchased a 1.5m mx cable for 310bucks

try the hifi vision mart for Chord Carnival. It is more expensive but IMHO it will do justice to your amp and speakers. Its a completely shielded cable and is veyr very nice for the money. You can even choose the right kind of connectors. and the best part is, that it will be SHIPPED to you!

one correction, the cable is 16 gauge as compared to 18 gauge of yours and I think on negotiation it comes down to somewhere around 80 / 85
