Bi-wiring with unterminated speaker wire?


Hi, I have an old power amp with bare wire connections for the speaker wire.  My speakers have dual binding posts for bi-wiring.  Can I make my own bi-wire using two lengths of unterminated wire, twisting the two red and two black together on the “amplifier” end, and connecting the 4 ended side to the speakers binding posts?

Yes, and I’ve often wondered if bare wire is a better and more pure connection versus introducing more connections and different metals by adding spades and plugs — not to mention the added expense of doing so.  Go for it!
