which Alpha Core MI2 is the one to buy?

What's the best way to bi-wire speakers with the Alpha Core MI 2's or 3's:

- two seperate runs -- one to top posts / one to bottom posts
- two parallel runs to top or bottom / jumper from there
- shotgun Veracity
- shotgun Serpent
- others?

I guess, as a general rule of thumb, copper cables are better with solid-state front ends and silver cables with tube front ends.
Is that correct?

Thanks!

I guess I'm just really confused about this.

All I know is my speakers have two sets of binding posts.
I'm sure it is a "true" bi-post design as the specs for the speakers say 4 Ohms for the bottom and 8 Ohms for the top.
The manual that came with the speakers said that bi-wiring was highly recommended.

Then, I go to the Alpha-Core site and see you can purchase bi-wired cables.
But are they really bi-wired?
I dunno.

Then I call up the speaker factory and they are talking about using a jumper (copper wire not gold plated bar) so that I am minimizing any time smear (phase shift) by having the entire signal runnning down the same wires.
He talks about running the cables to the top and jumping down from there and vice versa to see what sounds better.

But then he talks about bi-wiring in the next breath.
So I don't know if he's talking about shotgunning or what?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
