Bi-wire using single or two cables?


I have an Onix A60 Integrated that I'm running into PSB Century 600i's. Am hoping to bi-wire, but was wondering whether it's better to use two less expensive cables to biwire, or one more expensive cable with biwiring ends built in. Specifically, I'm debating between two pairs of Audioquest Type 2+'s, or one pair of Type 6 biwire cable. Any comments as to good cables I can look into at that price range would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks!

You should go with the better cable. In my experience there is not much of a difference between a single and biwire pair of the same type cable; ie, two single Type 6 would be about the same as the Type 6 Bi-Wire version.

Other reasons to get the single cable are: (1) that some audiophiles use a different type cable for the high and low frequency speaker posts; (2) If you have a budget of say $300 for cables, you could buy a $300 single cable and save up go get another $300 single cable later, instead of buying a $300 Bi-Wire cable or two $150 singles. If you start with a single to save for a second single later you will need a jumper wire to the other speaker post.
