To bridge or not to bridge ?

My speakers are Bi Wired, with Speaker Cable Bi Wired. I have tried, to install one bridge on the (-) speaker post, and the music is much more beefy, with a larger musical spectrum. Is anybody experiment also good improvement with that configuration? I have tried also the bridge on the (+) binding post, with less than improvement.

So the idea is, 1) leave the negative side strap in place and only connect one negative terminal, I assume either high frequency or low frequency, and 2) remove the positive side strap and connect both positive terminals? I suspect one could reverse the process and try leaving the positive strap in place.
Did I get that right? Easy enough to try...

Absolutlely you are correct Elisabeth, that what I do Too

Interesting.  What sonically improves with this set up? Very curious.  What improvements do you tend to hear with this wiring arrangement in place?

As I mentionned, with the bridge on the (-) speaker post, the music is more natural, more body, better tone, more flesh around the bone.  Also another trick, when I remove the spikes under my speakers and replace by footer like Vibrapods, greater unity within the speaker, according to me  the spikes kill the speaker caracter.  Never go back with spikes !
