Biamping Questions

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!!!

Thanks so far, folks. I've read in reviews that one great way to run the Arcam AVR 307 (7 X 100) with a 5.1 A/V set up is to use the two extra amp channels to biamp the two speakers through which I'll do my music listening. Outlaw also mentions that in their promo materials.

I've biwired my speakers (with some audible improvement), and I know how to go about the biamping, but I didn't know whether different cables might have more appropriate sonic characteristics for my speakers. Since I run a subwoofer, I can imagine one kind of cable being better for the midrange signals my JM/Focal speakers will get, and another cable better for the higher frequencies. I know there's a bunch of snake oil dealers, and I appreciate both the caution and the advice Newmanoc, but I still haven't gotten any responses about my basic question of whether to go with two different kinds of speaker cables.

Hoping to hear more; the audiogon community always comes up with great answers.

Again: thanks in advance,
