cardas golden reference biwire


Just hooked up a pair of used but new wires mentioned above. I did not have my speakers biwired before. There is a significant change with these wires. The bass is just a little overpowering. Will this change with "break in"? or is this a result of the type of wire or the added benefit of the biwire? I am not sure I can live with this much base. However I love the extended mids and highs, trhe soundstage has also doubled incredibly.

Dave, often when you repalce a component like wire which can effect the tonal balance, you may need to adjust your speaker placement which you optimised previously to work well with the bass balance of the wire you were using. Try small changes at first. even 1/2" can sometimes be enough. Keep at it until you get it where you wnat it. It took me three years to find the right spot for my speakers. You should be able to find a spot where the bass will blend better and still keep the improved qualities you like so much. You might wait until you have a bit more time on them. I won't go into that further since some people are on a rant about wire burn in as you are well aware!
thanks Maxgain, I will give in some break in time over the weekend. Yea, some questions, or a question to an answer, really gets some fur ruffled...

It's all good.
Interesting finding Dave, that is exactly the results I had with the Golden Cross bi-wires; the upper end was very nice, but the bass way to boomy.
