Here's a link to Vandersteen's views on biwiring, which I first found in another thread on this forum: http://www.vandersteen.com/pages/Answr7.htm. He recommends using the same wire for both runs, and using separate cables versus two within a single sleeve. |
..i just recently biwired my piega c-40 speakers and before doing so ..read the aforementioned richard vandersteen article and tried two different cables..in my case a crystal cable 'ultra' ..that i already had with an argento 'reference' cable and the sound was not good..then when i then used 2 seperate runs of the argento 'reference' cables the sound was superb...there probably is something to using the same cables for biwiring ...in my case it certainly was the better combination... |
I have often used different cables. Since the requirements for the two are different it is hard to see how using the exact same cables would be a great advantage. A much smaller gauge wire will work for the top end than the bottom. But as in every case with wire or cables results will vary with the system. |
