Bi-wires links for speakers ?

@jmcgrogan2 
Most people cannot afford own $8K worth of speaker cable. 
And, none that do should admit it.

The question, in the real world, where budget comes into play, is what sounds better? Two lesser cables, or one superior cable with jumper?

You quote implies that only the costliest/best/most transparent/(insert your adjective) wire is going to provide decent sound production and doing  anything less not worth doing.
If so, I disagree.
Given the OP's $3K speakers and McIntosh gear, the cost of true biwiring should not be an issue.
 
How much difference he will notice in biwiring is something only he can determine.
My point in directing him to Vandersteen's website is that Richard has been making speakers for 40 years and that if he can hear a difference, then those who ask for guidance should give his opinion weight.

@gdnrbob, I'm curious, if you feel that wire is wire, and it all sounds the same, then wire would bi-wiring help?

I am not suggesting that Vandersteen's opinion should not be heard or tried. I have bi-wired before myself. I AM saying that Richard Vandersteen is not god, and his word is not the final solution for all. His word is an idea, that is worth trying.

How much weight Richard Vandersteens word will have on any one individual would probably go hand in hand with how much one values his speakers. For me, if RV was the audio god that you seem to think he is, his speakers would sound better than they do to me.

RV is certainly entitled to his opinion, as are you and I.
You agree with RV, I do not.
That is the way of the world on these forums.
There is NO CORRECT opinion, only opinions.

When someone descibes me as:

 a dealer, though he doesn't like to disclose that information

then I have to say some opinions are incorrect. This mostly due to having incorrect 'facts'.
Though I believe the new rationale is 'alternative facts'.

Personally I DO NOT believe that bi-wiring can make any difference if someone really wants to improve the sound he should bi-amplifying ; more power=more control or just upgrading the ampflication (single wiring),But I do suspect that the standard stock jumpers provided with the speakers might degrade the sound so replacing them Should at least match quality of speaker cable.

same - except for one thing...

Richard Vandersteen is a fan of biwiring for his speakers & I pay attention to his opinions, just as I do to ARC, Pass, Magneplanar, and other top manfs. with long track records of excellence
