Biwiring with separate cables for low and high end


Need some advice please. I am buying some 8 foot cables specifically made for the low end. My speakers are right next to the mono amps, so I only really need around 5 feet.

I will also buy from the same manufacturer a set of cables specifically made for the mid/high level signal.

My mono amps have two speaker terminals each for the plus and minus connections, and no banana connection (spades only).
I could make a connection for the low end and mid/high on each speaker terminal (two spades on each connector) and then run to the appropriate terminal on the speaker. That would be the simple no fuss solution.
Or, I could have the supplier biwire the 2 cables together at the amp end.

Will I lose anything by going with the no fuss option?

If you have two pairs of outputs on each of the amps, and two pairs of inputs on each of the speakers; use two separate pairs for each channel.
Lynne (Arnettpartners), biwiring from two sets of output terminals on the amp will not change the load impedance that the amp sees, relative to what it would see in any other connection configuration.

Regardless of the connection configuration, the speaker's crossover network will cause the amp to essentially just see the low frequency driver(s) at low frequencies, and to essentially just see the mid/hi driver(s) at mid/high frequencies. At frequencies that are within the crossover region, that are reproduced by both low and mid-frequency drivers, the amp will see whatever the speaker's impedance is at those frequencies, regardless of the connection arrangement.

Like the others, I don't see any reason not to use both sets of amp terminals. Although of course whether that arrangement will work better than, worse than, or the same as connecting the two cables to one pair of amp terminals, or using either of those arrangements plus jumpers on the speaker terminals, or using a single-wire arrangement with jumpers, can only be determined by listening.

Thanks, Al. I was thinking about putting in a 911 call. I will have to digest that. This also means that I can reconfigure.

Best Regards,
