Double run of 2 sets of speaker cables from stereo amp to single binding post speakers

just was wondering if anyone has ever taken two pairs of speakers cables and "piggybacked" them from single binding posts on amp output to single pair of binding posts on the back of a speaker, basically running 2 pairs of speaker cables in "parallel" from single binding (L & R) post amp output to single binding (L & R) posts speaker input? Why, you ask? Is because I am really liking the sound of two different sets of speaker cables and would like to combine them at the same time to see what improvement/difference happens...

Thanx, Jeff "MOONCRIKIT"

It won't hurt anything so just try it. No one can say for sure what it will sound like, so that's the only way.

That's not what he's doing. Both his amp and speakers have just 1 set of binding posts. He's just connecting 2 different pairs of cables at the same time.

If you to do more experimenting, try running them in series so that the signal goes through the first pair of cables, and then the 2nd. I've never tried any of this, but I know people who have. They even claim they get a different sound running in series when you reverse positions.
