Tri-Wire Cables

It makes sense to me that the sound should be better. When a speaker is bi / tri wired only the current flowing into that speaker flows thru the wires. This will prevent interaction of the current from the speakers inside the cable. In fact one could select a cable for bass and put it on the low frequency driver and a cable with good highs on the tweets. It has been an improvement when I tried it.

Okay... So saying I was brave and decided to Tri-Wire with three separate runs of cable. I could even go with different manufacturers products for each driver. Shesh... That seems like the complicated way to audio nirvana!

I've spent a great deal of time selecting interconnects.... Tedious... Now... Just imagine the fun I'll have selecting three separate cable runs, each perfect for the driver they feed! When all is said and done and the three runs of cable selected, my floor will be a mess & my pocket book a disaster. God only knows what the back of my amp will look like... but.. hey... Isn't that what this hobby is all about? :) FUN!!!

Hi Bwhite; some respected high end manufactures, eg R. Vandersteen recommend against mixing different brands of wires in a bi or tri wire setup. The reasons given have to do with differing electronic characteristics of the wires. I have chosen to go with factory recommendations, and have not tried mixing wire brands. Good Luck. Craig.

Garfish... Thanks! I am glad to hear that. I'd hate to have a run of Cardas, Audioquest and Silver Audio for each channel. What are the factory recommendations? Are your Vandersteen speakers tri-wire ready?
