Doubling a Set of Speaker Cables


While reading a "professional "review of the Daedalus Audio Ulysses Floorstanding Speaker, the reviewer is adamant about the improvement TWO sets of speaker cables connected to each speaker - regardless of the brand - makes.

This is something that crossed my mind long ago, prior to reading it now, but I’ve never realistically considered trying it nor have I ever come across this in a review. At face-value it seems to me this technique would do more harm than good. I’m wondering if there are any folks on the forum using this technique of two sets of cables (and as mentioned in the article this is irrespective of bi-amping or merely using a smaller gauge) and if so, can/do you vouch for any "improvement" one should expect.

Thanks.

Doubling up on the wire from amp to speaker made a huge improvement on my system.  Perhaps, because the speakers are 4 ohm, but it sounded dramatically better.  I was quite certain I wouldn't hear anything, but it was the opposite.  TRY IT.  :-)  Amazing.
I had my mind all but made up that there would be no difference, but I was wrong.  Anyone wondering, try it!  :-)
