I’m a big proponent of biwiring. I use homemade silver braid on my lows, limber monocle for my highs and I love it. Cleaner tighter bass, colorful mids, crystalline highs!
Bi-Wire with two pairs of speaker cables
Stupid question:
My speakers have dual binding posts, so they can be biwired. Want to try. Currently using single wire speakers with jumpers.
So instead of selling current speaker wire, and buying new biwire set, can I get a second set of single speaker wire, identical to what I have, and run them from my Amp to the second set of binding posts on my speakers? Of course, removing the jumpers. I think I have enough space on Amp to fit a second set of spades

@thyname I do not dual wire my speakers ...I tri-wire them, and like others who have posted I use identical cables when tri-wiring. No problems here. My speakers are vintage from the early 1970s - a pair of Pioneer CS-A700's - but the cable is new. Pure copper cable. USA Made. Make certain you label your cable runs. I suggest labels at both ends and in the middle. To my ears tri-wiring is wonderful. But then, my ears are vintage - just like my rig. Happy listening. |
Thanks everyone for your input! I decided to order a single run of Crystal Clear Audio Magnum Opus speaker cables, plus the matching jumpers. http://crystalclearaudio.com/products/magnum-opus/ I will do the trick @williewonka suggested (Red speaker cable to HF speaker binding post, Black speaker cable to LF binding post). When / If budget allows in the future, I will get s second speaker cable pair, and bi-wire then |
