analysis plus differences

Here's an article and a post by Jon Risch to further complicate (not always a bad thing) the whole deal (have fun):

Your best bet is to go with the 12s & the cable-jumpers: almost all of the improvement from biwiring comes from eliminating the usual crap connectors between terminals.

A valid point, and a misunderstanding on my part.
You could try buying both from a place that allows returns, or if fatwyre.com (I think that's the right address) has them you could rent them. Listen to one combo for one week, then the other for a week.
You could also speak to John at Satellite to the Stars, who's an AP dealer and a straight shooter.

Of course I could do that but is the difference worth the money. The question is how close does th Clear Oval come to the Oval 12. Thanks

You can always run a single 12 now and then when it's time to upgrade again add a second run to biwire.
