No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need

Audioquest checks in on the dodgy subject of bi wiring,

B4icu, by the way, as instated previously, you don’t seem to know what bi wiring actually is. 

Mr. geoffkait

Did you notice that the bottom of your ref. was written or approved by AudioQuest that is a cable maker? Do I need to explain you why Bi-wires are better for AudioQuest than a single wire? (I'll give you a clue: they make double the money on bi-wire).
Would I base an argument on a biased quote with interest, rather a scientific approach?
I rather stick to my explanation (technical, supported by electronics knowledge and proven by simulation) than your lovely words that guide nowhere. Do you still believe that the earth is flat?

Your lovely description of bi wire could be also applied to a chair or a table. It would work the same.

Yes, exactly! Audioquest is a cable maker. And you are not. Polk is a speaker maker and you are not. Definitive Technology is a speaker maker and you are not. See the pattern? Furthermore, there is no financial advantage for a speaker company or an audiophile magazine editor to promote bi wiring. Hey-loo!

Mr. geoffkait

All the respected makers you have mentioned above have an interest. They make a living out of that, the more they sale the better. That’s called a biased testimony.

I don't.

See the pattern?

Bringing this back to topic, b4icu, did you say that this doesn't work on class D amplifiers? If so, does that also go for class T as well?

And what about for budget receivers and speakers, for example, I have this amp: https://www.cnet.com/products/sony-str-dh820/specs/ and B&W 684 speakers. What would the optimal cable be for that pairing, and, in your opinion, would it be worth it?


As for bi-wiring, I'm going to test my current cable in a bi wire set up. If that offers an improvement over single wire with a solid silver jumper cable then I'll compare that against the 0 awg when it arrives. If that sounds better again, I might even bi wire the 0 awg. If it works, great. If it doesn't I can use it in another system.
