My experience with bi-wiring

I have tri-amped, bi-amped and had various setups of bi-wiring.  The current setup is a sorta hybrid bi-wire.  Works good.

But from a marketing perspective:

bi-wire typically means buy wire
bi-amp means buy amps

A speaker with extra terminals is a speaker designed from the get-go to be weak.

Sorry, but it is just a fact.

Wow. Speaker designer MC with "facts." 

What a tool.

Though i liked @bpoletti meaning of bi-wire and bi-amp, i understand that is speaker dependant.
Tried bi-wire, tried diagonal and ended up with better jumpers, after trying some, in conventional set up.

I bi-wire my Tannoys with two identical audioquest type 4 cables. The tannoys are made for biwiring, not a weakness, but rather because they realize that there is a benefit. Tannoy also added a 5th binding post for ground. I of course use it, grounded to my amp. My alternate cable is my qed silver anniversary xt bi-wire, a great cable. 

@millercarbon, though I agree that extra "connections" are a potential weakness, surely you can see that some designs intended by the manufacturer to be biwired have fewer connections, not more, such as my Von Schweikerts.  They  are to, totally independent speakers stacked on top of each other, each with their own terminals....another situation to consider is the multiple, internal "connections' that exist in a speaker with multiple drivers....if designed to be biwired, there could be potentially fewer connections in that configuration....SO, though, we do agree that logic doesnt apply, just trust your ears.....my Von Schweikerts are biwired with a custom set of Audio Magic cables, the low end and high end using different design cables each optimized for that frequency range....sound great....
