What wire config for tri-wired speakers?

Did you use one amp? Did you try more than one amp? How were the results?

Sbank and Jond:

I am interested in the differences you find with mono wired, bi-wired and tri-wired. Also, if you have tried mutliple amps.

Your responses are what wires you prefer rather than the effect of the differences in multiple wiring. Please share that with me.

Bill E

Ah!

Now, this helps. Tell me more about capacitance. I use Tenor 300 monoblocks. Who do I ask about the multiple runs?
Tenor? Are there other issues to be concerned about?

The responses probe the question, is the additional benefit worth the cost? I don't know. Certainly the VR-11's need no more base, as they are adjustable. I am mostly concerned with pace, speed and musicality. I will write to Tenor to inquire if the use of three sets of wires produces a risk to either the amps or the speakers. Secondly, I'll attempt to borrow two pairs of eight foot Jena Pathfinders so that I have three sets to work with. I am open to all possibilities including that it makes no difference at all. Given the room and the equipment, it seems foolish not to go the extra mile to learn if it the multiple wiring matters. What I don't think I can muster is a biwired interconnect to run two amps per speaker.

Jacob,

I'm not sure I really understand your comment. I've been lead to believe that it's necessary to use the same length of wire to all parts of the speaker to insure proper timing and capacitance. I would expect wire of different sizes, gauges and types to produce unexpected distortion.

Am I off?

Also, are you suggesting that I dump the fancy cables in lieu of home made?

Bill

I'll try it.

Bill E.

Given that I use Jena Labs Pathfinders as interconnects and as speaker cables, are you suggesting as Tireguy and Gladstone, that I simply use four gauge wire as a speaker cable for the bass?
