alternate method of bi-wiring


does using 2 identical cables of the same length duplicate the advantages of b-wire? I am looking for new speaker cables and would prefer to have the option to use the cables separetly in the future for non bi-wire aplications. the only disadvantage of this route as I see it is having to purchase (1) extra set of terminators.

thanks for your input,

OH NO! It's starting all over again! Run for your life! Garfish, could you pass the fondu to Sugarbrie?
No Maxgain. Get the Shotgun!!! The Bi-Barrel variety.


For Japanese gear the correct term must be "Shogun".???

Does everyone here bi-wire their speakers?

I think I am the only one that doesn't bi-wire around here.

I just got some Goertz silver jumpers. These jumpers are solid silver and 10 mm thick. Hmm...... they sound better than bi-wire in my system.
Viggen, My comment to you about not bi-wiring is better comes from earlier posts by others. Unless you tried a double run of the cable you are using for a single, against the jumpers, I am not surprised you may find the jumpers better. Probably in all cases, the stock jumper should be trashed in favor of what you are doing.


A cheaper (or different) bi-wire cable will not always perform as well as a better single cable, for the reason the single cable is just better, not because of bi-wiring.

I guess you would need a double run or a bi-wire version of the same cables to do a good comparison. B&W actually recommends bi-wiring with their speakers.

I have been biwiring for at least 10 years;still don't have the terminalogy lingo down.Most all that time I had 2 complete sets of wires. --Doubled up on the amp posts. EACH and EVERY time I started with run and jumpers; EACH and EVERY time the improvemnts ,adding the second run were huge. --This applies to using Analysis jumpers, before adding the second run, as well. And yes a quality single run with jumpers,betters less quality bi wires.
