Biwiring make any sense?

Pani,

My experience w bi-wiring would concur w Vandersteen’s description. The bass very much became more controlled and defined(tighter) while detail in the midrange was more distinct and defined. Got better soundstage and imaging as well. And I say this w my Superamps being 1k solid state. However they are not portable space heaters. 
 

immathewj,

The link to the graphic was just to illustrate one of the sources I used for configuring a bi-wire setup. Picture is a worth a thousand….

Those of you who say "if the speaker is set up properly for it", do you realize that on a circuit diagram biwire looks exactly like single wire?

@phusis ... but ultimately I prefer using similar amps top to bottom actively (class A/B solid state as is), which is to say all the way down into the subs region to aid overall coherency and tonal imprinting.

Tonality is very much founded in conjunction with the lower octaves, the extent of which actually surprised me, and the problem with shifts in tonal balance using different amps is potentially exacerbated with a combination of very different amp topologies/principles...

I completely agree if we are discussing vertical bi-amping, where one amp powers one speaker and the second amp powers the other; in this case, the amps would need to be matched to achieve the best performance.

In my case of horizontal bi-amping, which I believe is the context here, I was fortunate that the low-wattage class A amp I use for the tweeters has good synergy with the speakers. Although the class A amp lacks gain control, both the class A/B and D amps I’ve used for the woofers have gain controls, allowing me to fine-tune the loudness until tonal balance between the high and low ends is achieved. I’m pleased with the sound, though I believe this experience might be dependent on the specific speakers and amplifiers used, making it difficult to generalize.

The only thing a designer could do to facilitate his speakers being bewired would be to have a switch disabling internal jumpers.  As far as a circuit diagram would be concerned that wouldn't make any difference, just a physical connectivity difference.  Considering the jumper mechanism that "might" make some  sonic difference.  Does that make any sense?

Maybe it has something to do with fields generated by different frequencies over a longer distance, which are usually 6-8' .
