I would think that with dissimilar cables, you might have a phase shift problem between the woofer & tweeter. But, I can't state that this is a fact. Better minds may be in order here! Happy Tunes
dis-similar bicables? Why not?
I've been using NBS Statement speaker cables, but they are not bicables. (between a Pass amp and Revel Studios) Of course the speakers are setup to allow biwiring (and its recommended by Revel). I didn't want to spend another $3K to bicable, so decided to try using some Tara Labs Decades for the bass. I felt the bass is not as important, and removing the bass from the treble cabling might be beneficial. Results: I think it sounds better. I think the highs are a little more detailed. I'll listen for a wekk or two and then go back to listen again. Anyone out there try this?
