Cheap bi-wiring?

David99 you off base as usuall.The better the speakers the less lickly your going to find Bi wire.Check with MFG of real high end speakers.Dont bother with MFG of Mass market high end speakers.

Leafs...you prove my point for me...Siting single instances and specific products as the final word doesn't help this thread. Making sweeping generalizations like, "there is no benefit to biwire" is ignorant in the truest sense of the word. You didn't even ask if Heyhorse was running one of the speakers you claim are superior without biwiring. If there was no benefit why would so many top of the line speakers offer it as an option? It's a conspiracy with the cable manufacturers, right? I'm sure some speakers do sound better with only one run of wire, but don't tell me how my, or any other speakers sound with or without biwiring. You must remember that this hobby is subjective, otherwise we would just buy the speakers with the greatest sensitivity and the amp with the lowest THD and let electronic sensors tell us how it "should" sound.

Does the bi-wiring sound significantly better or just different. I have heard no positive difference but that is with Dunlavy and Paradigm speakers. Dunlavy does not believe in bi-wiring to make better sound. The best thing to do is rent a bunch of cables from the cable co. and see what happens

Snook gives great advice, audition double runs of cable from cable company, and do direct comparison of single wire and bi-wire. Most high end speakers are designed for bi-wire with special crossover design for biwiring, some are not and use more complex internal crossover designs for single wire. I wonder if those who ridicule bi-wiring have even tried it, or just repeat everything Martin DeWolf says.... BTW I tried both ways and prefer bi-wire set-up, but each person has to make thier own assessment.

Blues_man; you state above "70% or more of high end is BS". You would be doing me,other Audiogon members, and audiophiles world-wide, a great service if you would post the (presumably) 30% of high-end audio that is valid;(ie, not BS)-- by product/brand name would be great. We could save tremendous amounts of money and would be forever grateful to you, not to mention richer. Thanks in advance. BTW, I'm really into the blues too; Buddy Guy, JJ Cale, and recently, Dave Hole are some favorites. Leafs; could you please post the names of the "mass market high-end speakers" you mention in your above post; by brand name would be great. Your information, along with Blues_man's, could go a long way toward clearing up much of the confusion that exists in this hobby, and would also be a boon to audio enthusiasts world-wide. Again, thanks in advance. Just as a vote for bi-wiring, Richard Vandersteen recommendes bi-wiring for his 2Ces and 3A speakers, and they are specifically designed for it. I have the 3Asigs., bi-wired, of course. Others, such as Thiel are not designed for bi-wiring, and do not have bi-wire connections. Craig.
