Best speaker wiring


Reviewing some threads on speaker cables for my bi-wirable speakers, I have learned there are different ways of wiring. I was wondering which wiring is the best of the followings and why if possible, assuming the same materials and prices.

1. Single line bare wiring jumping with bare wires/jumpers
2. Double line bare wiring
3. Internally bi-wired cables with two connectors in amp end and four connectors in speaker end
4. Internally bi-wired cables with four connectors in amp end and four connectors in speaker end.
5. Wiring with two sperate pairs of cables

Thank you.

Part of the answer would be based on the binding posts on the back of your amp. I would, and have bought the internally bi-wired with two going into four at the speaker.

I'm sorry but the suggestion of using zipcord is just stupid. If you don't care how your system sounds why would you buy anything other than a boombox. I don't know who would benefit from such a foolish suggestion???

I have used all kinds of speaker cable including zipcord (a long time ago) and have found speaker cable and good interconnect to be one of the cheapest upgrades possible regardless of the price of the better cables. It would cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars to match the improvement of cables if you were to buy electronics instead.

Listen to lots of cables and buy the best one you can afford, or justify.
