To Bi-wire or not?

Tbromgard, as you using two seperate cables per speaker?
If so, are you sure that the connections are in correct polarity at the amp and the same at the speakers?
Also, I find it very helpful to make sure that the routing of the cables is as direct as possible without too much parelleling if possible.

hi Al, i am using 2 identical sets or pairs of wires, 12 gauge and 6 feet long.

Two 12 AWG cables would be the equivalent of one 9 AWG cable. At 6 feet long, that is huge overkill. I just don't see how you could be losing any bass. But of course, there's no harm in sticking with your single wire cables.

If you want to tie this down, you could use a Radio Shack SPL meter plus a program like SynRTA or Room EQ Wizard to actually see what your bass response is.

Bi-amping with external x-over is only reason speakers should have two sets of taps.Amazing what a hustle bi-wiring has been with $250 speakers to $25K is and the general B.S. on wire.Blue Jean was good choice.It has always been like those really thin disc candy on your stereo cake not even real sprinkles (isolation or power conditioning).No way is it frosting let alone the cake.Well made cables make sense and on rare situations where some taming is needed (Cardas with Krell??).But think about NHT.Used those blocks to roll off highs and lows and accentuate mids so people who drop a packet go "Ooooh" and "Ahhh" when in fact they are getting less information but accentuated mids make you think your getting more.Blue Jean single and maybe jumpers made of same wire.Low end Kimber has always been deepest I'd go.Know this is off and widening topic but it has always pissed me off as snake oil as percentage of what some folks spend.

i am ahead of you on this one, i have a rabos system from my infinity preludes that i used to have, it measures the frequencies from 20 to 100hz for the sub for that system, on average there is a 1 to 2db drop on all frequencies from 20 to 100hz when the speakers are bi wired as compared to one single wire, i know 1 to 2db is not much but when i listen and compare a single wire to a bi wire setup, the bi wire setup sounds like less bass.
