Vandersteen and NOT BI WIRE---Your thoughts

I had Goertz MI-2 bi-wire and switched to VH Audio CHeLA "single runs" and have been very happy. I don't see anything missing and have not really thought about getting another set.

Vandys aren't current-hungry speakers so less-likely would benefit from biwireing. Biamping is more likely the binding posts are for.

Vandersteen himself recommends bi-wiring, and not bi-amping. For a discussion of the worth and results of bi-wiring dial up the Vandersteen website. The best results are for seperate plus and minus cables which translate to 4 cables for each speaker. The cables that are 2 on the amp end and then split to 4 on the speaker end are not nearly so good.

I have Vandersteen 5s and use what is commonly referred to as Double Bi-Wire (DBW). To be honest, I've never considered anything else, because as Stringreen says, it's what Vandersteen recommends. I've spoken with Richard V (once) and in that conversation got an impression of a no-nonsense guy who gives good advice. Specifically, I asked a question that implied having to spend more dough, and essentially was told, "save your money." Given that perspective, I don't think he'd recommend DBW if he didn't feel there was a distinct advantage. . . but I reiterate I haven't tested the alternative! Been perfectly happy with a pair of Audioquest Pikes Peaks.
