To Bi-wire or not?

welcome to a feature that (on many speakers)should have been done way with a decade ago.

when i bi wired my infinity renaissance 90's i ran into the same problem that Tbromgard had, bass loss, i thought that my speakers also sounded better with a single wire too.

You've changed two things at once (cable type, and bi-wiring instead of single-wiring), which makes it hard to provide a meaningful response. I suggest that you try the Blue Jeans cables single-ended, with the jumpers in place, preferably with the high and low frequency wires in parallel, or if that is not feasible then using the low frequency wires and leaving the high frequency wires unconnected.

Bass performance can be compromised by some combination of high cable resistance per unit length (i.e., too small a gauge, meaning an AWG number that is too high), long cable length, low speaker impedance, and/or high amplifier output impedance. Let us know as many of these parameters as you can, and we'll be in a better position to help.

They told you cable burn in is a myth, but biwiring is not?

well guys, i wanted to try an experiment, i also have a pair of infinity kappa 9's and we all know how hard they are to run, so for the first time i tried to bi wire them to see if it has something to do with low impedance speakers, when bi wired they sound like you do not have the 4 twelve inch woofers connected (no bass at all) and when they are connected using the single wire bass galore, so i think that it must be a current thing, the amps i am using are two adcom 565 mono blocks, i wonder what is happening.
