Doubling a Set of Speaker Cables


While reading a "professional "review of the Daedalus Audio Ulysses Floorstanding Speaker, the reviewer is adamant about the improvement TWO sets of speaker cables connected to each speaker - regardless of the brand - makes.

This is something that crossed my mind long ago, prior to reading it now, but I’ve never realistically considered trying it nor have I ever come across this in a review. At face-value it seems to me this technique would do more harm than good. I’m wondering if there are any folks on the forum using this technique of two sets of cables (and as mentioned in the article this is irrespective of bi-amping or merely using a smaller gauge) and if so, can/do you vouch for any "improvement" one should expect.

Thanks.

Go for it , I have to assume a second set of belden wont break the bank . For you to get the answer you are looking for it's the only way . Have fun experiment !
Doubling up on the wire from amp to speaker made a huge improvement on my system.  Perhaps, because the speakers are 4 ohm, but it sounded dramatically better.  I was quite certain I wouldn't hear anything, but it was the opposite.  TRY IT.  :-)  Amazing.
I had my mind all but made up that there would be no difference, but I was wrong.  Anyone wondering, try it!  :-)

Resurrecting an old thread. I'm having a home built and they are going to run speaker wire through the wall for surround speakers. When I heard they were using 16 gauge, I wasn't thrilled about that since the plan is decent set of speakers (Revel Concerta 2 monitors). They said, no problem we can run to sets of wires for me which will give an equivalent 13 gauge wire.

Here's my question, when you place the two sets of wire into the banana plugs, do you twist the matching raw wire, or just stack the two on top of each other?
