This comes up a lot. Generally, if you use two different brands or types of cable as a biwire set, you will have sound that is less coherent than if you stick to two identical cables or, at least, two similar models from the same company.
Combining different speaker cables for bi-wiring?
After spending the past few weeks trying different types of speaker cables with my system, I narrow down my choice to two brands of cables but I couldn’t choose on more than another.
The first cable I liked was giving all the details and dynamics I was looking for the highs and mids, but was lacking punch and solidity for the bass.
The second one I picked was giving me all the punch and fullness in the lows, but was too bright in the high frequencies.
Should I bi-wire my speakers using the first type of cable to drive the highs and the second type of cable to drive the lows?
Is that a common thing to do?
Would that affect timing and pacing between treble and bass?
Thanks for helping.
