Audience Au24 in Bi-wire configuration?

I agree with John from Audience. I tried both options with a pair of Tyler Reference Monitors. The best results were running single wire Au24 to the tweeter and jumping to the woofer with the Au24 Jumpers... But as I am sure you know, things are always system dependant. Good luck.

Kurt,

The pair I got (I did end up buying them) is as you described. Two separate runs joined at the amp end. At 2m they are just long enough. Sounds pretty good to me.

Oz,

Congrats on getting the cables!

I am sure you will enjoy them, as I have.
I have no plans on upgrading these wires either.
(Well, not for a really long time anyway.)

(BTW, regardless of what John thinks, IMHO, some speakers simply sound better bi-wired, rather than single wired. I know my Revel Studios fall into this catagory. In fact every Studio owner I know has theirs bi-wired. My opinion is that the speaker controls whether it should be bi-wired, rather than the cable.)

I did testing in my home and at a friends house. In my home system the single run with jumper was judged better, but in my friends system we both preferred the shotgun of a pair of the cables.

It was a matter of taste. In both cases, the single run sounded more coherent, but the shotgun pair sounded more free flowing, graceful - and just a hair less coherent.

The differences are observable but not huge.

Your choice might depend on your mood. Single run is probably more accurate. Double more fun.
