Bi Wiring - Any Good

I tried it and it works. You hear less strain in the midrange when a bass passage occurs in the music. This improvement is the result of having a separate path for hi's and low's. You can convert any speaker to bi-wiring by changing the crossover inside the speaker. All you do is separate the common ground on the crossover. You have to add another set of +/- terminals and another run of wire. (the - or grounds will be connected to each other only at the amplifier terminals)

Sometimes it works,I think crossovers need to be designed with the extra wire inserted into the crossover in mind. Many speakers have split crossovers as an afterthought. I have always perceived more detail and more impressive imaging when bi wiring but also less coherence between the different drivers. I think a lot of the differce also comes from the extra conductor material. Do a true comparison:run double cable but listen with and without the terminal links. In the end I have always preferred single wiring, it is more euphonic and coherent with more beauty in the mids.

It does indeed work, however, only if the crossover was properly designed in the first place! You can now buy budget loudspeakers for $199/pr which have "bi-wire" inputs, but the chance that the crossovers in these units are any good from a "single wire" input standpoint is questionable. Remember on thing, all of the caveats that go along with component matching (in this case amplifier/cable/loudspeaker) are at work here, but with DOUBLE the variables. Bi-wiring is not a magic fix for a poor sounding system. Get all of the other aspects of your system "right" and then, as they say in England, "suck it and see". The golden rule of audio is as follows "if it sounds good to you, it is good". No amount of further advice is required.

Biwiring is a scam only unless your going to biamp your equipment with the same amps running left&right speakers. Its just so cable companies get on the ban wagon. IS there a differences yes but its not better than single wiring . try taking your the binding post out of your speaker then connect the high terminals to the bottom bind post:disconecting the top u now then turned it into a single wire connection now u will hear the difference cause theres no jumpers involved and they most definitly make a diff. you will hear the diff. believe me go try and Email back. enjoy the maze Mgwatt

I view all of this as suspect and voodoo. But, after listening to a bunch of cables, I selected a bi-wire with one one of those "mystery matrix" thingees in them. Oh well, trust your ears.
