bi wiring

Well thank you, Chad!
.

The latest edtion of Hifi Critic (#2) has a very nice article about cables and discusses the biwiring (is that right?) issue in some detail. I won't attempt to rehash the article as I would likely get it wrong but bottom line is the author thinks it worthwile to try *if* your speakers are set up for this, for what seems like real (not metaphysical) audio engineering considerations.

just happened to read this tonight

Could there also be dissadvantages??
And Jeffery yes it is biwire.

Jeff, I might be a smartass but if I feel misunderstood I try to set the record straight :)

If the speaker is designed to properly take advantage of biwiring, it does make a discernable difference.

There is no voodoo in biwiring. Low frequencies actually do carry with them a large magnetic field that will modulate delicate high frequencies traveling within the same cable. Biwiring simply isolates the high frequencies from this strong magnetic field by providing a dedicated path for each.

Those who are single wiring will be surprised if they compare the sound of their speakers with the single cable going to the treble connections and jumpering down to the bass vs. the opposite. Whichever driver(s) are getting the direct connection sound noticably clearer and more articulate than the driver(s) connected via the jumper. In my experience, no matter how good the quality of the jumper, this is the case.

The best way to single wire is to cross wire. Run your positive to the treble positive and your negative to the bass negative and jumper positves to each other and negatives to each other. This averages the loss in sonic performance evenly across the whole speaker. Try it.
