Krell FPB Amps-biwiring

Another note.

It is great that Krell provides 2 binding posts per channel, but bi-wiring using one post is no different sonically than using the two; it just makes it easier.

The term used here of "true bi-wiring" doesn't really mean anything.

I guess, if your wire is not overpriced like alot of the cables you can buy out there, making use of this feature seems ok. Especially for someone who has never had the feature before.

I have experimented with alot of cables over the years, some very very pricey, None ever living up to the price sonically , and eventually came back to Kimber 8tc. I won't be paying high prices for speaker cable ever again, unless there is no further hardware upgrades that I could make. Seeing that 8tc can be found for reasonable prices I may give this a shot, if nothing else just for the look of a ridiculously over-wired, over-amplified two channel system. : )

Jc51373, I think there should basically be no difference unless you use different cables for bass and mid-hi then you may see some difference. Running good biwired cables from one set of binding posts should do just fine.
If you consider changing your speaker cables and trying a true biwire, then you should try Acoustic Zen Double Barrell, which is a true double run just terminated at the amplifier end into a single pairs. I'm running Purist Aqueous biwire and it's really good.
B&Ws do sound better biwired.

How do you like your new Krell? Did you get it yet?

Have not got the FPB yet...The person I bought it from would only accept check or money order, so it delays the process a little. I am thinking I will have it week after next early. Other than going clinically insane from having no music, it has given me time to complete other related projects. Dedicated 20A circuit, cleaning out all of the dust from my rack, put my speakers on these excellent outrigger spikes from Soundocity, learning to solder a little so I can terminated my own wires etc...I might have put all this stuff off if it were here today. : )

I will look into the speaker wire you mentioned here.

Do any of you know the size of the binding posts on the FPBs? Its does not indicate it anywhere in the manuals for them..I am just curious because I want to order some spades and there are two different sizes.

thx!
