Question about Bi-Wiring

i have never heard the benefits of biwiring versus a single run of good speaker cable, well terminated and connected

i have been at this since 1980, through probably 70-80 pairs of speakers of all shapes sizes makes

This is very funny. How would someone, anyone, would get advice from a Sherlock Holmes with lamp cord as speaker cables in the profile picture? 😂😂😂🤦‍♂️

Good observation. Lamp cord… seriously… I got out of college 50 years ago.

Very true… good quality speaker cable first, and then biwiring. I used a set of Cardas Gold Reference for many years. The primary driver of the sound was the high quality… secondarily the bi-wiring… but to my surprise, bi-wiring was better. Always sounded silly… but it was a bit better.

I have my ProAc’s wired up in a diagonal connection. Honestly don’t think it made much of a difference from a single run with the OEM metal jumpers.

Thanks for all the input.

I have a bit of a dumb question.

Now, I there are some speaker cables made specifically for Bi-Wire, like from AudioQuest.

But other then that, would I need to 2 pairs of speaker cables for each terminal? For example, 1 banana plug and maybe 1 spade to each speaker terminal?

I do know that from the positive output of the amp, it would go to both of the positive terminals on the speaker but if the speaker cables are not made specifically for that purpose (as majority are not), I am assuming I need to use 2 pairs per terminal.

Thnx
