2 different cables on biwire speaker


Has anyone ever tried to use 2 different brands of cable on their speakers at once? I noticed I get a cleaner bass if I use pure silver on the bass drivers. But it gives me to much glare if I run it on my tweeters. Is it ok to run 2 different cables ( same length ) or will it hurt my speakers?

Hi KT. I haven't done this personally, but I know many people here have. One configuration I see quite often is biwiring with an Analysis Plus Oval Nine and Silver Oval combo. In your case you might run the Oval Nines to your tweeter and the Silver Oval to your woofer. I've also read of a few people trying different brands, but careful matching will be necessary. With different brands there's a chance you may run into unbalanced loads being seen by your amp. I'm sure people with actual experience will begin posting with some creative options for you. Good Luck.
