The weakness for bi-wire is not the wire, it's the passive crossovers. Get rid of those components and go with only wire between the voice coils and amplifier outputs. Jason +1 for elimination of clipping. I tri-amp, also total elimination of intermodulation distortion.
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.
