My TAD Evolution One speaker has two sets of terminals for biwire. The crossover frequency between the coaxial mid/high unit and the bass units is 250Hz. The normal way to go is to add a second ww silver eclipse 7 for biwiring. But because the crossover frequency is as low as 250Hz perhaps it is an option to buy the new version of the silver eclipse, series 8, and use it for the mid/high terminals which does cover the main part of the frequency spectrum.
Also the sonic benefits of the series 8 over the 7 is according to WW website: Increased soundstage separation, resolution and dynamic impact. So that could work well. Only the series 8 has gauge 11 instead of gauge 12 for series7, so there could be a difference in sound level. That’s why I posted my question.
I never said there wouldn't be symmetry in your scenario, I was simply stating that in mine the Left/Right Symmetry would also be maintained. And in what I described you would maintain the balance intended by the original speaker designer with the high frequency / low frequency if you mix and match two different series and or gauges you would not. I wasn't being cynical I meant my idea was odd not yours. Good luck
