How many audiophiles bi wire their speakers????

Anyone wanting to read a good explanation of Vertical Bi-Amplification should go to:

http://www.caryaudio.com/html/biamping/html

To sum it up:

1. One stereo amp per channel, equals 4 channels of amplification

2. Each stereo amp is dedicated to one channel...vertical bi-amping

3. The two inputs of each stereo amp are wired in parallel

4. Outputs are wired separately to woofer and midrange tweeter inputs on the loudspeaker

Thanks to Dennis J. Had for this excellent informational write-up (president of Cary Audio).

He really turned my listening experience around. (Unfortunately, I use McIntosh equipment :) )

The server could not find this post. I did go to caryaudio and the faq was interesting, but this document was not there.

the Cary Posts are written so well that it would be interesting to read this one, too.

I have a pair of Innersound ISIS (Electrostatic Hybrid) speakers and I have bi-wired and bi-amped them. IMO bi-amping made a considerable difference. I use a High Current SS amp for the bass and moderately powered tube amp for the mid/high panels.

It may be that hybrids lend themselves to this application better than other speakers but you should give it a try if you can.

I Bi-Wire Aeris I speakers from Bryston 9B-THX, with some improvement in clarity and depth.
