BIWIRE TERMINALS


when using biwire terminals with single wire speaker cables do you connect your singles to the upper or lower set of terminals and why?

Try it both ways and pick what sounds better to you, every speaker is different. If you really want the best sound for this situation, get behind the binding posts and wire the speakers internally to a single post set.
Hey Bignerd, why the attitude? Unsoldering one set of +/- wires from one terminal pair and soldering them to the other terminal pair, is hardly rocket science. It is not a "tweek of the week" but rather a long-term solution for those who believe using a higher quality single wire cable sounds better than bi-wiring. Otherwise, simply use short good quality jumpers or wire, and run the speaker wire to the terminal that sounds best. Some even recommend cross connecting the speaker wire with + on the HF pos terminal and - on the LF neg terminal, then jumping to connect the two neg terminals to each other and the two positive terminals to each other.
