Some woofers have a feedback to the amplifier this interfere with the tweeters and this is one of many reasons some biwire.i have read this in many reviews.i do triamp some speakers with an electronic crossover between amp pre amp.enjoy the experiments and the music it keeps the mind busy
Biwiring make any sense?
I am on the verge of adding new floor standers to my setup as my room has enlarged. Options being considered are KEF R7 Metas and PSAudio Aspen FR10's. Both have biwireable terminals, the KEF has a jumper switch and the PS has jumper wires to bridge the terminals. The other option from dealing with the jumpers is to biwire the speakers. In this case I could run a banana and a spade off each output terminal. Is this even worth considering? Biamping is not something I'm interested in, as I already am running off an integrated amp. I had a pair of BassZillas before, each one of which had 3 sets of terminals, the top 2 being biwired, but that's a different deal (I don't have those cables anymore). Speaker comments would be welcome too. Amp is PSAudio Spectral Strata w/150 watts into 4 ohms.

If the speakers are properly designed for bi-wiring then it will make a difference but a lot of speakers have four terminals and they're not internally set up on the crossover to be bi-wired properly but it does make a difference if the speakers are properly designed, I have the monitor audio platinum 200g2 and when I bi-wired them the sound stage opened up even more. |
Like u I’m pretty new to the bi-wiring game. My system is composed of Arnie Nudell’s Genesis iIM8300 3 way speakers w stands connected to Leach Mono Superamps via 2 pair of ARC Litzlink speaker cables. The Genesis will accomodate bi-wiring. For longer than I care to remember, I had the cabling configured conventionally using two pair of cables. Only recently did I realize I had not properly configured the connections. When I did properly connect in bi-wire config,it really was another level. I noticed less electrical noise in the background, a tighter bass and greater depth and detail. So much so that I decided to try a set of Shunyata cables built fir bi-wiring. And again it seemed to go an additional level in terms of depth, detail, and the bass was better controlled and placed. It has been certainly one of those “DUH” moments for me. |
@84xfirez-51 , in what way were you not properly configured? There are not that many ways to do it, are there? One speaker cable goes to + and - of one set of speaker posts, and the second speaker cable goes to the + and - of the second set of speaker posts? |
