Bi-Wire with two pairs of speaker cables
It is actually best to run two identical pairs of cables when biwiring. I have been doing that for over 30 years with great success. Before I had a second pair of output jacks on my power amp. I doubled up the spades. Just tighten the jacks well so you are getting good contact to both spades. It will be even better if you have a second pair of jacks added to your amp. What amp. and speakers do you have? |
@thyname - I have tried this, but to my ears the only thing that improved the sound was replacing the little mettal strip-jumpers (those generally supplied with bi-wire speaker terminalss) with a quality jumper made from wire. Bi amping ia a different approach that can definitely improve sound quality. One tweak that often improves sound quality with a biwire speaker (using quality wire jumpers) is inserting the +ve wire into the H.F. terminal and the neutral wire into the -ve L.F. terminal. Strange, but effective! Other that have tried this also reported improvements One quality wire that I use a lot from Take Five Audio is this one... https://www.takefiveaudio.com/products/1095-mil-spec-12-awg-silver-plated-copper-cryo-treated-red/ It's a 12 gauge wire, but they also have other gauges available - e.g. I have used their 16 gauge wire for the +ve jumper and their 12 gauge wire for the neutral jumper with noticeable improvements Hope that helps - Steve |
