What about biwiring with silver for High frequencies and copper for low frequencies ?
Biwiring make any sense?
I am on the verge of adding new floor standers to my setup as my room has enlarged. Options being considered are KEF R7 Metas and PSAudio Aspen FR10's. Both have biwireable terminals, the KEF has a jumper switch and the PS has jumper wires to bridge the terminals. The other option from dealing with the jumpers is to biwire the speakers. In this case I could run a banana and a spade off each output terminal. Is this even worth considering? Biamping is not something I'm interested in, as I already am running off an integrated amp. I had a pair of BassZillas before, each one of which had 3 sets of terminals, the top 2 being biwired, but that's a different deal (I don't have those cables anymore). Speaker comments would be welcome too. Amp is PSAudio Spectral Strata w/150 watts into 4 ohms.

I dunno. My speaker cables are all silver but it seems like if you do that you're still depending on the wiring up to the output terminals on the amp (whatever that is). All I can figure is that my speaker cables are relatively thin compared to some so maybe doubling up on them might help...wouldn't hurt. Copper vs silver is pretty much beyond my knowledge base! |

It all depends upon your speaker's design. Usually, those with biwire capabilities have designed their speakers accordingly. My speakers (Vandersteen) have biwire inputs due to Mr. V. hearing the difference between single and biwire. Others may scoff, but Vandersteen has been building speakers since the '70's, so I take his opinion seriously. Paul McGowan started with electronics and only got into speakers relatively recently. I would also try to expand your list of speakers. Can you get some audition time with dealers? Nothing beats listening to as many speakers as you can... Bob |
