I have attempted bi-wiring on a couple of occasions and distinctly did not like the results. I could not quantify exactly what happened to the sound, but it really dried out the enjoyable qualities of my system. This is, of course, system dependant, and many audiophiles love the sound they achieve through bi-wiring so you may want to attempt it as a trial run. If you go to audioasylum.com you can find numerous long and fairly interesting/informative threads relating experiences with and technicalities behind bi-wiring. I suspect that you are better off using the same speaker cabling for both runs and I have not actually tried this yet. Good luck.
Bi-wire-top post, bottom post, why a difference?
I use mapleshade jumpers between the 2 peerless drivers that cross over at either 900 or 1000 to the 30" newform research ribbons..the acoustic zen satori[single wire] was always running to the bottom speaker lugs...I could only afford one good wire at the time. Sunday I connected the satori to the second set of lugs. Please note the ribbons are connected to the cabinet' top by their own jumpers[mapleshade]....I wasn't quite ready for the improvement I hear in the sound...in fact I still have to replay cds to make sure it is "better" and not merely different. Better clarity and blossoming of voices into the space between me and the speakers. Larger if you will, while depth seems enhanced. Is this an indication these speakers should be biwired? I'm toying with getting a short run of bolder cable[affordable] to see if this is the case. Any thoughts on the above? Oh, the rest of the system is a krell pam3. sim4070se, nopariel cd, roxan zerxes, ac matric ic and ixos ixotica ic. and absolute power cord. Monster and panamex conditioners. Thanks in advance.
