Von Schweikert 4SR...bi-wire or Remote Sense?


I am currently using Von Schweikert 4SRs bi-wired w/ Speltz cables as fed by a Spectron Musician IIISE amp. I have no complaints with this set up. I have the opportunity to buy some Remote Sense cables specifically designed for Spectron...but they are in a single-wire configuration. My question is: would the single-wire Remote Sense option be any better/worse than the current bi-wire set up I'm using now? What say you, from experience or theory?

I have the SRs and think they have always sounded better biwired. You have a pretty unique situation there and I would be surprised if you can find someone who has gone from Speltz to the Remote Sense cables with the Spectron and the VR4SRs, but who knows maybe you'll luck out. I think you are gonna be the guinea pig on this one though.

In theory if most say the Remote Sense wires are substantially better than most with the Spectron then what you will gain will be more than what you will loose by not biwiring. Biwiring is better but far from the end all be all upgrade. I would take way better speaker cables, single wired any day.
Thanks Ejlif. Of course, the easy though slightly risky path would be to just buy the Remote Sense cables (used - about 60 cents on the dollar), try and keep or resale. Decisions, decisions.
I have the new MK2 Spectron with my B&W 803D. Currently I have them bi-wired with a double run of Audioquest Gibraltar. I was wondering myself if I should perhaps use the Remote Sense Cables for the low end and the Gibraltar's for the mid/high end to get the 'best of both worlds' as the RSC can account for distortion at the speaker itself and reads the voltage at the speaker.
Nick778: Hmmmmm. If I were you, I'd run your idea past Simon at Spectron if you haven't already. Please let us know how your idea pans out.
I have and he doesn't quite know the answer. When John is available, I plan to ask him.
