Bi-wires links for speakers ?

@gdnrbob, I see that you seem to be a big fan of Richard Vandersteen.
His speakers have never really moved me personally. I realize that he has many fans though.

That said, I think the key 4 words in Richard’s quote are "GIVEN SIMILAR WIRE QUALITY". That is where my experiences have changed.

I do not disagree that bi-wiring is superior if using the same cables for single wire and bi-wire. The question, in the real world, where budget comes into play, is what sounds better? Two lesser cables, or one superior cable with jumper?

I will use my current cables as an example. I am running JPS Labs Aluminata speaker cables ($7799 per 6 foot pair) with Aluminata jumpers ($860). I CANNOT afford to run the Aluminata in bi-wire configuration. I CAN afford to run JPS Labs Superconductor 3 ($3099 per 6 foot pair) in bi-wire configuration. I have heard both ways, and in my system, the Aluminata sound better single wired with jumper than the bi-wired Superconductor 3.
I have noted this to be true with other brands as well. Obviously YMMV.

So my point does NOT really vary from RV’s, because he is assuming that all wires are of equal quality. This is a theoretical (fantasy?) world view.
My view is more of a real world view, where cost IS a factor.

I think if cost were not a factor, we would all be bi-amping and bi-wiring with the top of the line amps and cables.

@gdnrbob, I'm curious, if you feel that wire is wire, and it all sounds the same, then wire would bi-wiring help?

I am not suggesting that Vandersteen's opinion should not be heard or tried. I have bi-wired before myself. I AM saying that Richard Vandersteen is not god, and his word is not the final solution for all. His word is an idea, that is worth trying.

How much weight Richard Vandersteens word will have on any one individual would probably go hand in hand with how much one values his speakers. For me, if RV was the audio god that you seem to think he is, his speakers would sound better than they do to me.

RV is certainly entitled to his opinion, as are you and I.
You agree with RV, I do not.
That is the way of the world on these forums.
There is NO CORRECT opinion, only opinions.

So many devided opinions :(

Status Quo.
You will find no unanimous opinions on almost any question in audio, or life.
In the end, we all must form our own opinions.
What works for someone else may or may not work for you.

1. Throw away immediately the biwiring standard terminals supply with the speakers and get descent Bi-wire cables links.

I don't know that I would recommend this.
Someday you may want to sell those speakers.

@OP-It seems like you have your mind made up. Why bother posting this thread?

How do you figure? He started a thread asking if anyone had heard a difference by replacing the stock jumpers that come with the speakers with quality aftermarket jumpers. He got a couple responses to his original question. Granted, he got more responses touting bi-wiring, which is NOT what he was asking about.

I understand that is how things go on these forums. Folks come here asking about their amplifier, and others will recommend that they get new speakers instead. That doesn't mean that his original question was worthless, or went unanswered.

He asked a direct question, filtered out all of the off-topic answers, then tried on his own, and he is happy with the change in sound in his system.
That would seem to be what the forums are for.
