Any advantages to bi-wiring speakers vs. single


Hi, I'm about to buy a Von Schwiekert VR 33 speaker pair after hearing them at RMAF. I can get single wire or biwire versions. Any advantage to bi-wire? Thanks.

Biwiring must depend on the speaker brand...Alan Yun told me NOT to biwire my Silverline Preludes that he designed

I've read this about Silverlines. I'm curious why the speaker maker would make his speakers biwireable but recommend against it.
Tpreaves, that makes no sense to me. Why would a customer want to do something the speaker designer recommends against? The sales drop in my mind would only be for people who have biwire cable already and want to stick with it.

I read the downloadable Silverline manual last night which states that biwiring is recommended. Also, I contacted Alan last night regarding biwiring as I just bought Silverlines (and am biwiring them); he emailed back and wrote to do what sounded best. I think the latter statement wins. Perhaps his comments to Wolfman were specifically for the Preludes. At any rate, all of this is hijacking this thread. Sorry, OP
