Mixing speaker cable for Bass & Treble


Hi, I have recently acquired some Audioquest Midnight + speaker cables which I would like re-terminated into a bi-wire configuration. However, a friend has suggested leaving the cables as they are and using them for the bass and getting a separate pair for the treble. I know other 'goner's have used these with the Audioquest Sterlings and Argents, but I was wondering if they would work with other makes, like say, the Audience AU24's? Any advice/experiences would be welcome, thanks.

I echo 240zracer's comments.

I use Nordost SPM's full range on my Gallo Ref. III's and add Wegrezyn Copper Slams (8 awg) for the second voice coil/sub. I was using my Nordosts for both (they are terminated for bi-amp/bi-wire), but for fun threw some old MIT MH 770's in and heard a big difference. This started my quest for speaker cables that performed well on bass (in my case, <50 Hz)... there is not a lot of information out there.

Good luck,
Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun or Audience AU24 bi-wire, both are 2 separate runs, will probably do a better job. Plus, using these will remove all doubts about impedance and frequency mismatch. Just a thought. Unless you do have to use AQ...
If you are looking to liven up your top end, you might try out a pair of Nordost flatlines. I use Red Dawn. It is not so laid back as some Audioquest cables are. I guess it depends on your speakers and what you are trying to accomplish.
My experience with the AQ Green Hyperlitz, which is of similar design, is that using two runs to the speaker sounds better than 1 run to the tweeter and 1 run to the woofer. To improve the sound with biwiring, you need to have 2 runs to the woofer and 1 run to the tweeter. Otherwise, the bass suffers and is less substantial than just using 2 runs to the speaker. This may not be the case with every cable however.
