I have always bi-wired my speakers. As pointed out in the post by @akg_ca it is important to use the same quality cables when comparing. As an observation to the OP, assuming you used two runs of the same cable, you may have liked the result at least partly because you presumably have twice the amount of wire going to your speakers. There are some who believe bigger is better wrt speaker and power cables, simply because the wire gauge is bigger.
My experience with bi-wiring
Not wanting to debate the issue, which has been done ad nauseum, I just wanted to share my experience in case it's of help to anyone else in a similar position. Originally I single wired my speakers with jumpers made from my speaker cable, but I had been curious about bi-wiring and read all I could both pro and con. The main thing I gathered was that it is a contentious subject that there is no consensus on. I was reluctant to spend the money on something that may not pan out, but as the maker of my speaker recommended bi-wiring, I finally decided to give it a try. I was impressed that there was a worthy improvement in detail/clarity across the frequency spectrum. Admittedly any change is speaker dependent and YMMV, but if your speaker brand advocates it, I suggest it's worth a try.
