Going from Bi wire to Single wire

Hello all

I'm in the process of making my own speaker cables out of neotech NES 3001 and was encouraged to internally connect my HI/Lo frequency together, thus eliminating the biwire and making a single wire set up.  The benefit I'm told is of course improved sound.  My speakers are SF evolution.  Thoughts please.  Thank you.

I did try to do a search on the topic and it was more on the benefit of singe vs. bi wire.  I was told that physically going inside the speakers and
connecting the two posts (hi/lo) would be best.  Akg, I'm with you about not messing around with a manufacturer's engineering know how and leaving it alone.

Vandersteen state a very very clear preference for an external biwire
if you have a good relationship with your dealer you can also test the Nordost claim that better single wire plus jumpers beats equivalent $ biwire set
check the claim with your own ears

I think there are some that think soldering is a better connection than terminated wire connections and binding posts.

Seems a bit extreme for minimal effect and also inconvenient.
