Do you Bi-Wire, if you can?


This topic came about in another post.

If your speakers allow for bi-wiring, do you use this feature? Or, do you use good quality jumpers and single wire cables? Or, do you just use the jumper plates that come with the speakers and single wire cables?

(If you are bi-amping, then that's completely different.)

My Daedalus Ulysses speakers cannot be biwired. Presumably Lou Hinkley doesn't want users to be tinkering with the sound he has worked so hard to achieve. I believe that in the past I've only owned one pair of speakers that could be biwired, many years ago, and I used them single-wired.

I have bi wired in the past. Now I single wire with good jumpers. It works out better that way for me

YMMV
Mostly do not believe in the whole bi-wire syndrome unless the speaker has been specifically designed for it. And I circumvent jumpers by simply using a single wire bridging the same plus/minus termination if possible.

I've even done surgery on some bi-wire designs and internally bridged the terminals with positive effect.

Read Israel Blume of Coincident speakers take on it all.
Always Bi Wire when possible, jumpers blah! Two sets of runs always tightens things up!
I used to bi-wire but doubt I could really hear a difference. Just did it because the speakers were set up for it and the speaker cable I used at the time allowed it. With current sp. cable (Morrow SP4 or Clear Day double shotgun) I single wire and use Clear Day jumpers. Even so, have played around with connecting to top or bottom posts or diagonally. Just something else to make one's self crazy. Current iteration is diagonal with red to low and black to hi freq. posts. Again, not sure I can really hear a difference.
