Bi-Wire, Tri-Wire or Other???


I am putting together a system for a friend who has the Alon 4 speakers. Alon recommends tri-wire speaker cables, but I am at a loss as my Talons take a single run of speaker cable. I don't want to break the bank here either. He needs 16 foot runs also so the cables are going to be very long. We are trying to acheive a very musical system and not so much a critical listening system.

Do I go with a bi-wire cable and jumpers, mono run with two jumpers, tri-wire with one spade at the amp end with three separte wires in the cable jacket for each of the LF, MF, HF speaker terminals, three separate cables???

I know Alon has their own cable but I have never heard it.

So some suggestions please, maybe $1000 or less in price? If not possible maybe up to $1500 tops. Or maybe start with something now and add to it later?

Thanks and Happy Listening.

The Alon cables are quite good for the cost. They mate well with their speakers....as they should. I tried different cables but never found anything better or enough improvement to justify the cost.

They are also small in diameter and are very flexible.

Good luck!
