bi wire or not to bi wire

I only have 1 set of biwire cables and 1 set of non bi wire cables so I cant do extensive listening tests. But to o my ears my Usher speakers loose of bit of bass when I bi wire, but thats about it. What are the other potential advantages or disadvantages to bi wiring? Thanks.

Another bi-wire thread? Sigh. What a waste of space.

Try one set of bi wires on one speaker and a set of single wires on the other in mono stereo and use the balance switch to hear if there is enough difference or any. Kr4, if this is a waste of YOUR space please move on if you have nothing to contribute. People that are interested have a right to learn.

Bi-wired in most cases shows some improvement but a single wire with a good jumper can also be of equal benefit. But there are so many variables ( type of wire , speakers , amp etc ) that you really must listen for yourself and decide .

Are the cables you are comparing identical?
