Cheap bi-wiring?


What would be a good approach to assemble an inexpensive bi-wire speaker cable?

Leafs, you are totally wrong. Depends on the speaker design. Ck w/manufacture.
John D also states that there is no difference in speaker cables, BS. My speaker are Aerial 10t and beleive me that there is a noticable difference in sound bi-wire and single wire. Even in the manuel it states that the 10t IS BI-AMPABLE and BI-WIREABLE. Like i said before its all in the speaker design.
Maybe i can clear this up for the uninformed or confussed. When speaking of bi-wire, the bi stands for two, meaning two seperate set of cable or double run or external bi-wire. Thus for a speaker that was designed for bi-amp can be bi-wired using two seperate pr of speaker cable or two seperate runs terminated by one connector at the amp end or two seperate runs terminated to one amp post. This is a true bi-wire and has advantages and disadvantages as in a bi-amp or tri-amp setup with the advantages outweighing the disadvantages. A cable that is singe bi-wire is not a true bi-wire and correct has little or no advantage or just a glorified jumper. So when you inquire about bi-wire i beleive you mean a true bi-wire as the posters question implies. If you need a technical explaination do a research on bi-amping and bi-wiring, try the site Visions in Audio. I use two seperate pr for bi-wiring. Its all in the speaker design, not all speakers that have dual post per polarity are truly bi-wirerable and benefit. I realize that most at this site know this and can explain it better than i. Anyone want to take the time to explain this better and inform the uninformed and help many. Happy Holidays
