Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ?

more details needed to understand findings: 1) speaker: impedance/ 2Way or 3Way / speakers internal x-over design 2) length/resistance/inductance of cable 3) amplifier used

bi-wiring will “tangible” improve sound if: 1) initial cable is long (6+ft, high resistance 50+mOhm, high inductance 2) amplifier is high quality 3) speakers are 3 way

My Mission Cyrus 781 speakers were specifically designed to be bi-wired...At the time I experience a better sound when I go with the dual cabling........

Bi-wiring was required for my Mission speakers and I sense a more detailed sound when I did it...




I dont remember where I just wrote this, but I make a mistake if this is my quote....

Unless Vandersteen knows what your amplifier or wires are, there would be no way to predict the outcome, based on the rest of what you wrote. Products often incorporate designers "beliefs" which may or may not agree with reality.

I’ll trust the speaker designers’ opinions - ON THEIR OWN SPEAKERS. If Vandersteen has designed to benefit from bi-wiring, then the speakers might benefit from bi-wiring. If Dynaudio says "do not bi-wire," they probably won’t benefit from bi-wiring, no matter what Vandersteen says - after all he didn’t design the Dynaudios.

FWIW, I build my own loudspeakers.  The most recent pair, a 2-way, has the woofer and wide-range driver on two separate boards, isolated from one another. To my ears,  they sound best bi-wired. 

I didn't see any benefit from bi-wiring.  Active bi-amping, on the other hand, with my Magnepans (built to biamp) was a huge jump in sound quality.  Literally, veil lifted off.
