If she's game, perhaps your wife could change from single to bi-wire a few times without letting you see. She should also not change them at all, just pretend to, a few times. Then do the same for her.
I'm open to there being a real difference with bi-wiring (that couldn't be achieved with a single run of the equivalent gauge of a single wire), but I've never heard a convincing explanation for why there might be a difference. The explanations always sound very hand-wavy to me. I'd like to seem some actual math.
Even so, I made some "true bi-wire" cables for when my new Vandersteens come. Cost for materials was under $40. By "true" bi-wiring, Vandersteen means keeping the two runs separate by at least an inch instead of having them in the same jacket. But I did this more because I could than because I expect to hear a difference.
