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.

 How about owning biwire speaker cables but the speakers have only two terminals instead of 4?   Is the signal split and flows into the naked or unhooked up wire? 

@kclone , I make no claim to have a real tight grasp on electrical theory, but it seems to me that what you have described would be sub-optimal. The signal would be starting out on what seems to me to be one gauge of wire but then arriving at the speaker on a narrower gauge of wire.  What you could do in that scenario, I think, is if the termination at the speaker end was spades, you could double them up so you had two on each speaker post.

Sure, if you just had one set of terminals.  Then you're basically giving yourself a fatter wire.  No harm there if you already have those wires, but if you're just starting out just buy the bigger wire!  If you have two sets of terminals, then you can avoid using jumpers, and maybe that's a positive.  Beamping seems like it makes more theoretical sense, but then you're getting into the old cost vs benefit thing, which is ok. 

When I bought a pair of Tekton Pendragons a few years ago...( which I really love)...they had an option to bi-wire....I was told that the wiring inside the speakers joined together anyway completely nullifying the idea of bi-wiring...the answer would be NO.

Some woofers have a feedback to the amplifier this interfere with the tweeters and this is one of many reasons some biwire.i have read this in many reviews.i do triamp some speakers with an electronic crossover between amp pre amp.enjoy the experiments and the music it keeps the mind busy

If the speakers are properly designed for bi-wiring then it will make a difference but a lot of speakers have four terminals and they're not internally set up on the crossover to be bi-wired properly but it does make a difference if the speakers are properly designed, I have the monitor audio platinum 200g2 and when I bi-wired them the sound stage opened up even more.
