When I upgraded my cables I planned on doing bi-wire with my Aerials and I am glad I did. It really helped the woofers in the speakers work as intended.

So when you re-wire as you have planned, my suggestion is to go with 4 prs for the front main speakers so you can bi-wire those Brystons.

When you Bi-wire doesn't that mean to have a separate amp of each pair?

Not necessarily, you can just Bi-wire or you can Bi-wire and Bi-Amp.

Nope. As Ivan stated, it can be wires only. You have two connections at the amp end and 4 connections at the speaker end. You do need 4 copper conductors in the cable vs. the standard two.

Just a note to update the progression of the impression, as well as, the break in period.

The sound is getting richer, volume (technically gain) is increasing with no noticeable distortion, all instruments sound like they are right in front of me; as if being at a concert. Currently, I'm listening to the McIntosh SACD DSD demo on the Oppo. Each instrument can be singled out, even with my bad hearing, the lows are low and the highs are high crisp and all of it is clear as a caribbean scuba dive.

Seems the speakers are loosening up and the sound is enveloping me and the room. The REL III has disappeared, still blending perfectly with the lows of the Mini-Ts. There is no harsh separation between them anymore.

It is sonic bliss!

Once, I save up another $1000 I'll re-wire my room with Blue Jean cables, I'll Bi-Amp my Mini-Ts. Turns out my Pioneer SC-65 is capable of this function if not running a 9.2 set up; which I'm not nor plan too. So Bi-Amp and a 7.1 set up will be my final configuration for a while until my wallet heals...

So thank you, Ivan you were spot on with your assessment of my audio gear and it working well with the Mini-Ts...
