Having read the response of "Fotopres" to the BiAmp question and agreeing with the engineering concept, I have wondered about the value of BiWiring from an Amp to the speakers with two sets of connection posts. Does anyone have an explanation for the value of BiWiring?
Check out Robert Harley's book: The Complete Guide to High End Audio (1999 edition). Explains bi-wiring usually improves sound but for reasons that are not entirely clear.
I use no name 10 ga wire and recently spent the $20 to try the bi-wire thing. With my meager stuff (energy 5.1's) it did seem to improve the imaging and lower bass.I went back to single wire for a while and I didn't notice much until my friend commented on the difference. It's back to bi-wire now.
Its to my understanding when you use two seperate wires vs one the amp reed a drop in the imprdence so if you bi-wire and 8ohm speakers the amp playes 4ohm and in case the power is dobbled that why is sounds briter and the bass is lower because it not sharring X amount of current.
