Speaker cables for 4 ohm speakers


Hi all !! Looking to get some pointers...I have a set of 4 ohm speakers (Tyler Acoustics Woodmere II's) and trying to find a pair of bi-wire cables that would benefit them. My run is 12 foot for both...I am using a Coda CSi Integrated amp that has a pushed bias of 45w class A to about 600 watts 4ohm rating.

Currently I am using Canare 4s11 star quad bi-wires and they lost something in the mix..My music went flat and I lost a lot of the ambiance and fullness. Still nice in the highs and very tight in the bass, but the mid is less..far less in my opinion.

Any direction of wires that would bring back this luster??? Budget in the $500 to maybe $1000, but prefer the lower amount.

So let me get this straight...My Canare cables are already terminated with spades...run them all to only one set of speaker terminals and jump the remainder???...Since these speakers have tri-wire capability, would it make a difference on which terminal to choose, or its just a cr*p shoot and process of elimination. The other possibility I have pondered and thats to bi-amp these speakers as I do have another external amp and the CSi does have a seperate pre-amp out too.
I will try a few of these methods and look to jump the other posts and just double up on the canare. I will let you know my thoughts...I did catch a quick read from Nordost last night about jumping bi or tri wire posts and with the tri wire the mention was to jump the treble and bass and plug into the midrange post

Gregm well said above about the 45w bias...the previous owner of this CSi integrated had it built and tweaked to his liking and stated that he never really heard the switchover from class A to A/B...and neither do I...
Ok...I have gone ahead and jumped all the posts...I have found no change in sonics or ambience...Sounds the same on my reference music. This is really weird that this is dramatic as it is...I am beginning to believe this is the sound of the CSi (extremely nuetral) and there is very little improvement in what I do...I am still willing to give a shot to another set of speaker cables that might open up the soundstage. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated in the $$$ range above...How about jumpers??? I am using some non-terminated cardas soldered jumpers at the moment.

FWIW, please see my system arrangement for maybe a better understanding of what it consists of to save time of typing etc...The only change is the exchange of the Modwright to the CSi...I still have the Modwright, just not hooked up at the moment but used to reference the sonics and ambience if need be...
Newbee....now the messge has come across...Yes...just trying to open it up a bit...I know the Canare 4S11 is a good start on some cables for speakers...But a would a few more $$$ in cables assist or bring me closer...Would like to possbily get out of tubes and back to simple setup without losing that lustrious sound and tone and POWER...My Modwright has the tube rectified power supply upgrade that really did some jusitce...But it also really made all the instruments shine just a bit better too...Don't get me wrong this Coda is no slouch, as its very very tight and DEAD SILENT...very nice unit...just tryin to tweak it just enough to improve the final outcome...
Newbee...thanks for the assistance...this helped clarify what I was experiencing....yeah my modwright and the b&k amp is a very nice combo...decisions decisions decisions
