Night and day speaker connection
I
made a great move since I have had always my speaker connected my
speakers in BiWire configuration with Biwire speaker cable. So, I
connect the two red speaker wire to the (+) to the "bass speaker
binding post" via a banana plug. I did the same with the two
black speaker wire to the (-) "bass speaker binding post"
via a banana plug. The result is realy astonishing ! I would never
go back to biwire connetions. But you must use a good quality jumper,
to link the two black speaker binding post together and the two red speaker
binding post
together
. I can not stop listening now... to my new reveal music
collection.
What is the point? Doing so completely negates the rationale behind bi-wiring. All that is happening is a slight tone change is effected, but the woofer signal will still contaminate the uppers. See http://ielogical.com/Audio/CableSnakeOil.php#BiWire and Bi-Wiring Bridging below. |
All I was saying is that instead of hooking up both cables on each speaker to the bass terminal with jumpers, hook one cable to bass and one to mid/treble terminal with jumpers in place. I don’t know if it’ll be better or worse than doubling the cable on the bass terminal, but it’s free and easy to try and is very beneficial in my system. |
douglas_schroeder Probably you are right, soon I would double ("without the jumper") one big AWG speaker cable on the bass and one of the same big AWG on mid and tweeter. I think it would be a killer |
audiosens, yes, just keep trying iterations of cables to the speakers; it is the only way to find the optimum result. That, however, does not assure the best performance from the system. In order to achieve one's best for an entire system all cables in all positions must be considered and tried. I usually recommend trying at least 3 different power cords, USB cables or dig. coax (SPDIF), interconnects, etc. That is far more work that most audiophiles are willing to put into it. But, it is the only way to purposefully move toward a better result. Actually, the best way is to compare entire sets of cables and then tune, but that is way beyond the capacity/effort of most audiophiles. |
