What wire config for tri-wired speakers?


I am looking for personal experiences of those who have used speakers with three binding posts and different wire and amplifier configurations. I have such speakers which are currently mono amped and mono wired with jumpers from the center posts to the outer two sets of posts. Please be specific in your experience so that I can gauge the value and benefits of your trials.

Thanks in advance.

I have Linn Espeks, for tri-wiring I can suggest the following:

1. Linn K-600 (3 color coded pairs, 12 awg.)
2. Kimber Kable Tri-Focal or Tri-Focal XL
3. Jenna Labs.

On my application the K-600 worked best, it's the same cable used inside the speakers and inside the amps (Linn's Klout). A friend allowed me to use the Tri-Focal XL and the Jenna Labs. I liked the Kimber better but the improvement couldn't justify the cost.

I used to own tri-wirable Acarian Alons. Their own Orpheus or Black Orpheus tri-wire was a good-sounding very affordable cable that allowed separate wiring to all drivers, with only one set of spades going to the one stereo amp. Simple, but effective...Cheers, Spencer
I'll second Spencer's recommendation, I currently own tri-wired Alons and use the Alon Black Orpheus cable to excellent effect. I would characterize it as being quite neutral. As an added bonus it is very flexible and easy to work with. Good luck!
