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.

You may want to audition the Linn K-600. It features 3 color coded twisted pair of 12 awg cables. Many Linn speakers feature 3 separate imputs; low, mid & high or midbass, midbass & high. For the cost($36.00 per meter) it's hard to beat.
