Bi-wireing Proac 2.5


I would like to know if anybody has any personal experience with this speaker. What are the sonic differences if any between the normal vs. bi-wire? Did you get the chill factor? The difference in price is quite a bit to bi-wire and if it's not the chill factor,goosebump type of difference I don't know if it is worth the extra cash. Any ideas is greatly appreciated. Thank you, John

John,
I owned the ProAc 3.8's and i always bi-wired the speakers. At the time I used Kimber 8tc which was nice, relatively inexpensive cable that was setup in a shotgun configuration. I sold them because I was moving to a larger place with a smaller listening room. I auditioned the ProAc 2.5's in the new place with a single and a shotgun biwire run of Harmonic Technology speaker cable, HT 9 was the model, and found that both were better than the Kimber that I ran previously. The biwire configuration provided more information at the extremes, but I must say that a single run of the HT 9 was 90 percent as good as the biwire configuration.
For what it is worth, I would up purchasing a pair of Audio Physic Virgo's that I run with a single run of Harmonic Technology HT 9. I have been very impressed with their whole line. I would up purchasing their interconnects, Pro Silkway II, as well. Good luck.
