Generally speaking, running a single lead of speaker wire and replacing the jumper plates with proper jumpers has historically yielded the best results with Sf speakers. This was especially true for Guarneri Homage. Bi wiring was a downgrade from that.

Having said that, I have not tried bi- wiring with any Olympicas.

Why add two sets of terminals (and the cost) to the Olympica line if it is not a better option? (Not intended to sound argumentative - serious question).

Commercial reasons: many people have already biwire cables. They don't want to be forced to buy new cables.

Certain markets blindly insist on the biwire option hence the switch back to it.
