Bi-Wire with two pairs of speaker cables


Stupid question:

My speakers have dual binding posts, so they can be biwired. Want to try. Currently using single wire speakers with jumpers.

So instead of selling current speaker wire, and buying new biwire set, can I get a second set of single speaker wire, identical to what I have, and run them from my Amp to the second set of binding posts on my speakers? Of course, removing the jumpers. I think I have enough space on Amp to fit a second set of spades

Bi-amping correctly (with a filter removing the bass from the amp powering the midrange and/or tweeter drivers) requires two pair of cables of course, and some bi-ampers like to use heavy gauge on the woofer, lighter on the m/t’s. Bi-wiring can provide similar (though lesser) improvements, and is what Richard Vandersteen recommends for his loudspeakers. Separating the m/t's from the back-emf sent into the cable from a dynamic woofer is a good thing. Nothing wrong with trying different cables on different drivers. It’s only money ;-) .
