One more BI-WIRE question


I've read as many of the expert opinions on the bi-wire subject as possible and have done my own research and listening test with different speakers I've owned.The electrical theory as to the advantages make sense to me.The question I pose is this:I just bought a pair of monitors from a well known Italian maker that are equiped for bi-wiring.The dealer and US distributor both claim that these speakers would not sound better bi-wired and indeed were not designed to.The only reason for the bi-wire provision was to satisfy the demand of the European market.Does anyone know if one type of crossover design is considered optimum for bi-wiring.Other than marketing I'm trying to figure the makers logic here.....Thanks

Rega also does not make provisions for bi-wiring. They state that there is no advantage in it - at least for their designs. One would hope that if a manufacturer is able to design an excellent pair of speakers that it was not by accident, and that if there WAS an advantage they would have explored its potentials in the development. Rega is also a company that relies on its honesty and integrity to sell its products. Who else makes a turntable for a few hundred dollars whose very same tonearm is used by other manufacturers in packages that sell for many times the price. I am personally very skeptical of what many mag's, shops, and manf's pander as the truth.
