The theory behind bi-wiring is this:
Even if your cables have very low resistance and inductance, they appear in series between the amplifier and your speaker. Many speakers have significant impedance dips in the bass region. By running separate cables from the amp to the HF and LF speaker terminals, the current from the LF signals does not flow through the HF cable. So any cable-induced anomalies from the LF current are separated from the signal driving the HF drivers.
What makes this even more compelling is that bass drivers are non-linear and act as a kind of a diode, needing more current to move the cone in one direction than the other. This non-linear behavior manifests itself in higher distortion at the speaker end of the cable than at the amplifier end.
