I suscribe to the theory that a better single wire just may outperform a lesser quality bi-wire. I had AP Oval 12 bi-wires on my 1.5's and upgraded to single HT Pro 9+ plus HT jumpers and there was an upswing in detail after the change. I believe that certain speakers can really benefit from bi-wiring but in doing so one has to audition a pair against a "better" single cable. And like Fineberg above sometimes we can make things even better by using different wires in a bi-wire pair. As always, try before you buy if you can, if not buy used. Do a search at AA's planar asylum on bi-wiring to see other Maggie owner's choices.
Bi-wire for Magneplanar 1.6qr
Dear Fellow Agonians,
I need your assistance regarding the Magneplanar 1.6qr and bi-wire options. I currently use the Proceed Amp 2 for my maggies and it sounds great. I use Kimber 8TC wire. My questions are as follows:
* Has anyone found a benefit to using the bi-wire options with 1.6qr's?
* What wires were used?
* What benefits were gained with bi-wire set up?
* Has anyone bi-wired 1.6qr's and found no benefit or a degradation in sound quality?
Thanking you in advance & Happy Listening!
Bennett
