Biwire Cables: Two Seperate Runs or Single Run

I performed some simulations of this and have the results posted on my website at the Audio FAQ page of:

My $.02: Mono-wire is best unless you use different cables for the lows and highs. The fun of mix and match...

I think people are misinterpreting your question (or maybe I am). It sounds like your are asking what is the difference between biwiring with two sets of wire versus the special bi wire cables that have on set of connectors at the amp end and two sets at the speaker end. I doubt there is much of a difference. I use the biwire specific cables because my Bryston has only one set of connectors. This makes connecting two sets of wire very impractical. I imagine this is why many people use the special biwire cables.

Thanks for the insights so far. It seems like there is some contradictory opinions, as John Risch thinks two separate cable runs is superior, but simulations on Audioengr's site suggest a combined biwire cable is better. Sonic_genius - by "mono-wire" do you mean two separate runs rather than a premade biwire cable.

Nikkidanjo, I am asking what is the difference between biwiring with two sets of wire versus the special bi wire cables that have on set of connectors at the amp end and two sets at the speaker end. I'm perceiving that this is the question that other posters are answering.

Thanks Again.

Many single wires can turn your rack into a bowl of spaghetti. On the possitive side, single wires can assure that all speaker drivers are getting the proper current or grade of metal. Biwired speaker cables on the other hand split the cable down the middle. Half goes to the woofer, the other half goes to the squawker and tweeter. Since the woofer uses the most current to drive massive amounts of air, shouldn't the woofer get most of the wire mass? Tweeters are more sensitive to metal impurities and should get a better grade of metal. I'll use biwiring when cable companies realize these requirements for different drivers.
