Silver Member Username: DiabloFylde Coast, England Post Number: 171 Registered: Dec-04 | I've tried it and found no significant advantage - or disadvantage. When I initially biwired, I thought it sounded a lot better (clearer mid-range). But I then compared it blind and couldn't tell the difference. If you spend time and money making a change of any sort, then you want (or demand) that it sounds better. I'm not saying that it will never make a difference. There is some analysis here - http://www.pcavtech.com/techtalk/biwire/ which shows that "Biwiring has no electrical effect if the speaker wire is properly designed for the speaker and the length of the wire, and the wire has lower series impedance than the source impedance of the power amp - both these conditions are commonly satisfied." (my emphasis). Speaker manufacturers can have different views, e.g. http://www.legendspeakers.com.au/information/biwiring.html http://www.coincidentspeaker.com/whatsnew.html#Anchor-Wh-20834 Try doing a search on this board for hundreds of other opinions. diablo |

Silver Member Username: Joe_cOakwood, Ga Post Number: 726 Registered: Mar-05 | I do suggest removing the jumper bars you get with bost bi-wirable speakers though. Replace it with jumpers made of the same wire your using. Also I would try connecting the wires from the amp diagonally instead of buying twice the wire. |

New member Username: Mr_biasPost Number: 2 Registered: Jul-05 | I enjoy the Audio Critic, an online (previously in print) publication that uses scientific and quantifiable measurements to test audio equipment, along with a healthy dose of double-blind tests. Here's their take on Biwiring, along with other "Top 10 Audio Lies..." This might be opening a can of worms, but #7 covers Biwiring concisely. http://www.theaudiocritic.com/downloads/article_1.pdf |
