Interesting way to wire speakers…???


Hello all,

So I have recently been reviewing the age old argument of single wiring your speakers vs. bi-wiring and/or removing the bridge plate between the binding posts and connecting them with jumper cables matching your speaker cable.

Something occurred to me last night about another way to wire up your speakers….

WHAT ABOUT LIKE THIS---?????

Would you consider this to be ‘bi-wiring’ or single?
Good idea or bad idea?
Pluses and minuses to wiring this way?

I haven’t tested it out yet, and wanted to gather some opinions before actually amping them up this way.

Thanks

Sounds better than oxidized copper however if given the choice...right!?
I have found oxidized copper does have a sound degrading result. Simple point.
Use WBT top quality solder with silver and it will sound much better than oxidized copper will once the oxidation sets in.
If jumpers are used, then use bare wire not terminations. All spades,
bananas, posts etc... Degrade sound no matter the cost. Better off wiring as
the posters picture shows IMHO. Cleaning the wire regularly is also a good
idea. I don't use any posts or spades etc.., but simply use binding posts
to clamp the wires from my outboard crossover to the speaker cable. Nice
jump in sound quality. I found a very thin layer of WBT solder on the tips of
the exposed wire terminations works great.
