That's how I'm running my mains. My old amp had biwire terminals (Parasound), the new amp (Classe) doesn't. So I've got both spades on the one terminal and it sounds great.
Bi-Wire or Double Run of Single Wire ???
I have a two pairs of single run speaker cables that I want to use in my Den system. I want to use both single pairs and Bi-Wire. Has anyone experimented with this?? My questions is: Is it better to re-terminate the two pairs together at the amplifier end, or is will there be no sonic difference if I just put the two sets of spades together in the binding post on the amplifier?? Thanks in advance!!!

The real question is: Which option will allow for the best tightest connection? If you're trying to fit two pairs of spades onto the back of your amp it's unlikely you will be able to get a good connection. The last two sets of speaker cable I used were bi-wires. I prefer those to single runs of speaker cable with jumpers on the back of the speakers. |
After a great deal of tweaking and listening, I settled on the following config:
The KLE Innovations Bananas
The only problem is the bananas take around 200 hours to break-in, but after that they sound amazing If you want to know more about some excellent DIY cables just ask Regards - Steve |
