Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ?


I now know of 3 people that have converted their speakers to be bi-wired but are not bi-amping .

What is your experience or opinion on why bi-wiring without bi-amping might or does sound better ?

I am concidering converting my speakers but I do not want to be fooled by the addition of increased AWG .

FYI, whenever these discussions come up I think of MIT cables, who put crossover components into their little black boxes.  Clearly, a little inductance and capacitance in the cables seems to have sold many a listener.

I can't speak to the color of cars; they all seem the same to me. But motorcycles now! everyone know blue is faster!!

Your post reminds me of the $2 wine tasting we did a few years ago. In the end, it came down to a contest between Thunderbird and Ripple (with Midnight express as a third-party candidate). 

I personally preferred the Ripple, but my Marketing partner was a strong proponent of Thunderbird. While my boss, a purported oenophile leaned to Midnight Express (while refusing to taste any of them) on the grounds that the label was more attractive.

I suspect that any of the 3 finalists would have improved the quality of my sound system. But I take exception to Glenlivet being mentioned in this context. Scientific tests have shown that a few drops applied to your speaker terminals and a few more to your tongue, create a dramatic improvement to your system.... no 'beliefs' here -- just hard science!!

I must say that I don't get the bi-wiring routine. It seems to me all that is
being accomplished is adding more connections (points of failure). If you have good speaker cable to begin with doubling it does virtually zero. The signal still has to go through the passive crossover with its inherent flaws.
The amp is still going to feel the back EMF of the woofers. Oh well. Some things should just remain mysterious to me.
