Bi-Wiring

The impact of bi-wiring is often subtle, if even audible, but there are a lot of variables, and some get very noticeable results. One size does not fit all, so there’s not an absolute single correct answer whether or not there are immediately audible benefits from bi-wiring. Two things happen when you bi-wire... it typically doubles the gauge of the wire used, which can have some benefit. Also, each wire is affected by a different impedance from the passive speaker crossover, so each allows a different part of the signal through. It’s impossible to predict what, if any difference you’ll hear, but it can pave the way to hear other minor improvements (like removing water spots from window panes one at a time). No harm done either way, so try it. It’ll only cost a 2nd set of wires.

The fact that your speakers can be bi-wired also means they can be bi-amped, which offers a lot more flexibility and can have a more obvious impact....that could be worth pursuing too. Bi-wiring is a component of all bi-amping situations.

I used to think there was no difference in bi-wiring and single wiring, until I bought a pair of apogee duetta 2 speakers and it made a pretty substantial difference. I think bi-wiring making a positive difference depends on the speakers used and the type of wire for each run.

@jasonbourne52  you don't necessarily need an active crossover to split the signal before the amplifiers when bi-amping, there are passive line level crossovers as well.

Bi-wiring and bi-amping… two completely different topics.

For me whenever I have tried bi-wirng having 2 sets of bindings posts on your amp makes things a bit easier particularly if you hardwire (not using banana plugs or spades).

In my experience what I have found is that a single run of a good cable using the same cable as jumpers on your speakers, outperforms actually bi-wirng with a lesser cables.
