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

@geoffkait , absolutely. While the logic and absolute-ness (in audio, indeed!) might not be agreed on by everyone, I’m an advocate of trying it and seeing how I get on. If bi-wiring has claims to work (ignoring any bi-amping, whether active or passive) then swapping the cable for one double thick run instead of two thinner runs should achive a similar effect. Maybe that’s what’s being seen here? Either way, agreeing that bi-wiring might work but this can’t seems like a contradictory argument.

>>>>Sorry, no offense intended, and I realize some will probably accuse me of shooting fish in a barrel 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 but you don’t have any more idea what bi wiring is than b4icu.

I appreciate your instructions and they're what I'm following. 2.5m of 0 awg. I'm really just thinking aloud about other possibilities.

Also, in the course of this thread I've come to realise that I can test out bi-wiring my 802s. But that's of no real relevance here, you're right.

To be clear, I'm taking your advice, I've ordered what you suggested, and that's what I'll feed back on. Thanks.

@geoffkait I think I know what it is, but I don't understand the reasons behind it offering any improvement. I'm no electrical engineer so I'm no position to talk about impedance, conductance, and resistance, or how the length, gauge, or number of cables alters their relationship. I'll freely admit that.

Like I said, I'll try bi-wiring as well as part of my experiments. I don't need to understand why it works to hear the difference.

See my post today at 12:01 pm. That should help. There seems to be some confusion as to what bi wiring actually is. Not everyone is in a position to be able to try it, consequently, even if he wanted to.

Good point. I won't involve myself and perpetuate the misunderstanding.
That said, I am in a position to try it, so I will.

Much like b4icu's 0 awg cable recommendation. It's going to be an experimentation week.
