Bi-wire Clarification

One of my friends (who posts regularly here) and I have been swapping emails over and over talking about bi-wiring. I think we are getting the general idea after emailing different cable companies, but what I want to know is how it makes a difference (1) and (2) how do external and internal bi-wiring differ.

I'm looking for technical as well as non technical information here. I know there have been many posts on biwiring, but in looking through those, I haven't found my answer. Also, how many people use the idea that a smaller cable should be run to the tweeter and a larger cable should be run to the woofer. (assuming a 2-way set up)

Thanks for all your help.

In my experience, which is very limited, separating the speaker cables in a shotgun fashion provided the best results for me. I think another factor which may be at work is the design of the amplifier being used.

My current amp is a dual mono design with four separate posts on the back. It seems more natural, to me, for an amp like this to be able to take full advantage of biwire cables.

Any opinions on my take on this?
