Quick bi-wire question


Which is the better way for me to bi-wire my speakers:

Bi-wiring with the pre-made bi-wire cable (4 spades speaker end, 2 spades amp end, total of 2 cables) or running 4 separate cables (2 spade/2spade)using both my A + B speaker selection on my amp.

I wouldn't think there was any difference but might be wrong. Thnx.

I believe bi-wiring benefits are entirely system and cable dependent. They say that the best performance gains (if you notice any at all) would be from having four seperate runs each enclosed in it's own sheath.

I've tried bi-wiring on several occassions on previous systems including the shotgun (4 run) approach but with no sonic benefits that I could hear.

Earlier this year I converted my bi-wired Harmonic Tech Pro 9's (bi-wired with single terminations) to bi-wire at the speaker ends.

For the first time, I noticed a pretty substantial difference in the 3D soundstaging, better imaging, and an airier high end. I was quite pleased with the results.

-IMO
