to biwire or not?

You should Google this. It is a valid question but one that has been asked and answered many, many times. There is a division of opinion (and I have mine) but, so far, one side has not been able to win over the other.

I am parallel wired which sounds better than my previous biwired configuration for mysterious reasons. It's not much different. But the upper and lower range of my speakers are strapped with quality jumpers. And I have cable running running from amp to upper range and to lower range--two sets of cable from the amp. I was advised to use this configuration by Paul Speltz (anticables), and it sounds significantly better than biwire. Wow. And in what way is this any different from simply using a bigger gauge wire? I am not much swayed by mysteries.

If you have Bi-Wireable speakers, then Bi-Wire them. If the designer has incorporated the speaker for it, I would go with the designer's wishes.

I know of some speakers which have bi-wire facility but which, I was told by the manufacturer, were included to placate dealers (who want to sell more cables) and some users (who like to fiddle). Not all, of course. ;-)

Best reason I have heard so far.
