Bi-wire: is it worth it?

Gimmick...cables are accessories...huge mark up

"huge mark up"

No doubt. Accessories are way more profitable than the main workhorse components. That's always been the case. Retailers know this and depend upon it.

I purchased a set of Nordost Heimdall 2 speakers cables with jumpers a couple months back but have not had a chance to use them as of yet. I still have my older MIT terminator 4 and was wondering if i should even bother trying to bi-wire again with the Nordosts.I guess I should just experiment but was wondering if mixing the cables would be a detriment to a systems overall performance or if anyone has mixed speaker cable brands for their systems. I would think most of you would say just use the more expensive Nordost soley with the jumpers.

As far as bi wiring goes, IMHO, I am not sure lol. I have only bi-wired with the MIT's so I have really no idea if I gained anything from it all. I would imagine that Nordost's philosophy is not to biwire since they do not seem to offer a biwire configuration at present. Please do correct me if i am wrong.

I ran a pair of bi-wired Nordost Heimdall 1 speaker cables about a year ago or so. So Nordost did used to make bi-wire cables. I'm not aware if they stopped making them.

Nordost still has 4Flat biwire speaker cables in their product line. I wouldn't be surprised if the other lines could be ordered that way.

Here's bi-wire Frey, but notice it's on closeout. Maybe Nordost is going single-wire for their upscale offerings.
