Bi-wire using single or two cables?

Thanks Ewha. Now I have a better picture.

From your description and concerns, I don't think the DH Labs are what you're looking for. In my system they were at times strident and had a flat, in-your-face presentation.

I totally forgot to suggest the baby brother to the Analysis Plus Oval Nine. The Oval 12. I own the AP9s, and from what I've read here people think the AP12s are close in sound to the AP9s at much less cost. Here's a link to the AP12s:

The Analysis Plus copper cables are warm, yet detailed. They managed to tame a lot of the hot spots in my setup, and at the same time introduced a very wide and deep soundstage which I was lacking.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello, Ewha....I concur with Surgarbrie and Gunbei. I too believe this will give you the best solution. Once you've found the speaker wire you like in your system at that price, you'll never have to be second guessing. "What if I spent a little more and?' This is expensive and I've been there...once you can afford your second cable...go for it....in the meantime have fun and enjoy. Bluenose

if your thinking AudioQuest cable, consider the midnight line. they are going used at very can-do prices. add a second set down the road. kurt

One consideration regarding Audioquest biwire is that their single biwire cables are configured somewhat differently than if you were to use shotgun double runs of the same type. What they do with their spread-spectrum s.b.w. (in order to make it more economical to use) is reduce/reconfigure some of the high side conductors over to the low side conductors, compared to a double run. This enhances performance where you need it, without degrading performance where you don't need those extra conductors.
