Using biwired cables on speakers with only 2 connections
I generally have bought biwire speaker cables in the past, and now I have speakers that can't be bi wired.
Is there any problem if I only use two of the four wires and just Cover the other two wires so they don't touch each other. I hate the fact that I bought really expensive speaker cables and now I have this issue.
Do I use the high pass or the low pass LR pair? Which have been marked this way so I trust there was actually a reason for them doing this and not just cosmetic
Will this impair sonic performance ?

@p05129 I don't care who recommends it, bi-wiring is just redundant wiring. It makes NO DIFFERENCE to the sound. Bi or tri, your just feeding into the junk audio accessory industry.

@emergingsoul (or others) please let me know what you ended up experiencing? I am in the same boat, have biwired cables and new speakers that are single. I have banana on the main and binding posts on the shorter section. I'm thinking to just try banana and seal off the binders.... I won't have everything set up to test for another 3 weeks... |
If it made an audible difference and probably doesn't, it would still drive me nuts having the 2 ends flopping in the breeze. I would do what do what @audphile1 suggested and get the banana to spade adaptors. Also you won't need to cut up your good cables to get bare ends. On the bi wiring subject I normally agree the differences are small except for some Usher BE 718s I had. There was a definite improvement bi-wiring. No I didn't measure anything. Could be that the combined gauge of the bi wire cables were better suited to the speakers and a single strand of that gauge would have done the same thing. no idea. |
