to bi-wire or not?


Looking for advice on whether to bi-wire my Joseph Audio RM22si speakers.  Am currently running Acoustic Zen Satori mono cables which I love.  My local dealer tells me moving to bi-wire cables (either Satori shotgun or Hologram II) will make a huge improvement.   I have always been under the general impression that unlike bi-amping, bi-wiring is not all that beneficial - but I may be way off base.

Thoughts?

Anyone have thoughts or 2 Cents  Two Bananas to Four Bananas, according to specs goes from 11 gauge on the dual banana to 14 gauge on the quad end not sure if I believe that or not. But is coming from Blue Jeans Cable Solid company in my humble opinion .

dang it that's the terminology BiWire Shotgun. So the Wires arrived one Banana fell apart in my hands but was able to just use the bare wire to get it hooked up .

 Quick details on my current rig very modest to say the least.

Rotel Rc995 preamp

Simaudio Celeste w4070SE Amp

TDL Studio 1 (old as heck like everything else just have a tough time switching them out) I keep on waiting

Ifi Zen Dac v2

Ipad pro for streaming (Gets the job done for me currently) 90% of my listening.

Nakamichi NB4s CD Player (old and heck gets the job done )

mixed interconnects .

was using Cardas speaker cable don't know specific model grabbed it for 200.00 2 10 foot runs years ago .

14 gauge home made jumpers

my humble opinion and its only been a hour or so there is a definitive difference in bottom end very quick and robust if that at all makes sense .Vocals have taken center stage like never before.  Mids and Highs are a bit overwhelming I am going to wait for some burn in time to come to my final conclusion .

I mostly listen to Live Music Grateful Dead The Who Jimi Hendrix Muddy Waters Throw in some Miles Davis and John Coltrane and just about everything in between.

Well there you have it I will post more when as I give it more time . Feel free ask questions or give suggestions .
