Biamping Questions


Hi All,

I want to biamp my JM/Focal speakers from four out of 7 channels of my Arcam unit. I know there are different ways to do this, but I was wondering if different kinds of speaker wire might be one way to go. For example, are there some speaker wires better for bass and midrange and other brands/types better for treble? Might that produce a good result?

I'd also appreciate any other advice you folks might be willing to give.

Thanks in advance,
russ

You have a 7 channel arcam and want to run your low frequencies from your front L&R and mid highs from your rear L&R out of your amp? Also you wish to find cables best suited to the frequencies? Are you simply trying to throw more power at the speakers, looking to improve sound or both? I gotta say, this type of setup has never crossed my mind, but then again I am not called nuguy for nothing!!!

I'd definately see if you can try cables before purchasing. You may even want to do some reading on DIY cables, that way it's cheap and can be rewarding. Silver can tend to be bright and copper warm. Always remember if your room sucks so will the sound no matter what cables you use. Sure this cable sounds better than that cable, but it will be an uphill battle until your room compliments your system and visa versa. I've had some issues with brightness. A couple weeks ago I covered my coffee table with pillows, and I gotta say it was like changing out a component. The only problem is I now have nowhere to set my drink. Nobody can really tell you what is best, they can only steer you by suggesting options which worked best for them. Have fun with it and enjoy the sence of satisfaction you get everytime you hear an improvement, no matter how small!!!
