I am not interested in chucking spears back and forth. If I had intended to be condescending to you, which I had no reason to do, I would have said something like, "Try doing a search before you waste our time on a topic that has already been beat to death here." There is a world of difference between that condescending sentence and what I originally posted to you.

FWIW, I have never heard any difference between competent bi-wiring and single-wiring. That said, I do bi-wire because I can. Last edited by Kal Rubinson; 10-01-2016 at 05:09 PM. |

Dan is one if not the most friendly of folks. I think it was very helpful saying to use the search engine, I don't see how any one can jump that quick to read that any other way from the English that was posted.
Ya know this a great board with great folks, so why would any of us jump to judgement. Uggg. I take about nothing at age 56 personally more do I walk on egg shells or try to be to PC to the point it is impossible to have a conversation. No one is asking for a credit card for tech support right, just please don't shoot the messengers. Nuff said . Last edited by djwhog; 10-01-2016 at 05:15 PM. |

You didn't say anything about the type or size of speaker cable you are using. If you are using inexpensive (common) speaker wire and it is of relative moderate gauge (14-10 gauge), you will very likely get better results with a bi-wire set. This is because the DC resistance is lower and there is less contact to contact resistance. Be sure to use the same length and type of cables for the highs and the lows. And run the cables together (not separated). If you are using a speaker cable of some special technology or geometry, you will likely get better results with a single run and a "good" set of jumpers. The jumper plates supplied by many speaker manufacturers can be a sonic detriment so try a good set of jumpers with the option to return them if you can't hear a difference. Everyone has an opinion but it is usually based on limited experience specific to their own speakers and amplifer. There is great variability and interaction between amplifiers, speakers and brands of speaker cables. The best answer is to try it yourself in your own system. There is more likely a bigger difference between brands and models of speaker cables than there is between bi-wire and a single run.

As far as single biwire (i.e. have the manufacturer split out a bi-wire config from a single pair), many speaker cables' geometry are not best intended to be 'halved' to create a bi-wire cable from a single pair. After a good number of years and different configs of all sorts in this regard, I would say the best option is what Caelin writes above; get the best set of speaker cables for your listening prefs, system and budget you can afford, then spend the additional money to have a matching set of jumpers made by the manufacturer. You'll be very happy you did!. |
