Biamping Questions


Hi All,

I want to biamp my JM/Focal speakers from four out of 7 channels of my Arcam unit. I know there are different ways to do this, but I was wondering if different kinds of speaker wire might be one way to go. For example, are there some speaker wires better for bass and midrange and other brands/types better for treble? Might that produce a good result?

I'd also appreciate any other advice you folks might be willing to give.

Thanks in advance,
russ

There are a ton of options, but I would caution you to avoid spending too much. Buy some good cable at a reasonable price and spend the rest of your money on other aspects of your system. Cables are an expensive way to tune your system - better to buy components that are well matched to begin with. As for specific cable, Linn K400 is great for biwiring or biamping, and a wonderful value as well. It is fairly massive in appearance when you first see it, but it will actually disappear along the floor boards where you lay it (really).
You have a 7 channel arcam and want to run your low frequencies from your front L&R and mid highs from your rear L&R out of your amp? Also you wish to find cables best suited to the frequencies? Are you simply trying to throw more power at the speakers, looking to improve sound or both? I gotta say, this type of setup has never crossed my mind, but then again I am not called nuguy for nothing!!!
