Tri-Wire Cables


My speakers Wilson-Benesch Act Ones and can be tri-wired. Does anyone have suggestions for me regarding this?

Should I tri-wire? Single or bi-wire and use jumpers? What Tri-Wire cables are available? Internal Tri-Wire or External?? Is there anything I'm forgeting??

Hi Bwhite; some respected high end manufactures, eg R. Vandersteen recommend against mixing different brands of wires in a bi or tri wire setup. The reasons given have to do with differing electronic characteristics of the wires. I have chosen to go with factory recommendations, and have not tried mixing wire brands. Good Luck. Craig.
Bwhite; Most Vandersteen speakers (maybe all) are bi-wireable, but not tri-wireable. I did ask R.Vandersteen for a spkr cable recommendation, but he declined, just saying that there are so many and they all sound different.

BTW, I ended up with bi-wired runs of Syn. Res. Sig. No. 2. I did try Sig. No. 3 on top (a Syn. Res. recommendation), but found it too bright. But I'm very satisfied with the Sig. No. 2 for both runs. Note, the Syn. Res. cables (No. 2 and No. 3) are designed to work well together and are electronically compatible. Craig.
