Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable
I'm going to purchase some AQ speaker cables, and am considering bi-wired AQ Robin Hood Zero vs full range William Tell Zero (with quality jumpers). The bi-wired RH is about $500 more expensive than the full range WT, but on a comparable basis, WT is the more expensive cable. Any thoughts on sound quality between the options I described above would be greatly appreciated.
As always, there are several variables involved. Some systems simply reveal it better than others, and some people are more patient when listening...it can be subtle and hard to notice, but once you do hear it, you won’t "unhear it". It's more likely to impact sound stage than tonal balance, so it's easier to miss. Critical listening is a skill that’s separate from hearing ability, and can be honed. I say try it and see for yourself. |
I totally agree with this.
Any sources for this? I believe this to be false. Speaker cables to HF first, then jumpers to LF. I apologize if I am mistaken

@sdw : OP, what is your amp? And your speakers? |
@thyname - You are correct good sir... They do suggest using the top posts on the 802D in the manual. My mistake 🙁. Maybe that is why I heard such an improvement when bi-wiring mine. FWIW, they do recommend bi-wiring in the manual though. |
@boxer12 : no worries whatsoever. I know this because I own B&W Diamonds 😉
And I do use two speaker runs from my amp to my speakers. My amp has dual speaker taps |
