Bi-Wire


Why did Nordost stop making bi-wire cables?

Nordost said at the time because single wire with a jumper sounded better than internal biwire...I agree with this, and many speaker companies do too, though of course there is endless debate about it...

Because they believe, for the same money,  you are better off buying further up the product line and using jumpers.

When I discussed this with their rep a few years back, I was told that they now believe that bi-wiring leads to phase distortion. Whether this is in fact correct, I do not know...BUT I certainly do NOT have that issue with my bi-wire Nordost set up.

Their new recommendation for bi-wire set ups is to only use two runs of speaker cable per channel...which of course from their perspective makes a LOT of sense $$$ wise!Â
