Edorr, please forgiving me for butting in but I have a question which relates to the issue of bi-amping that I would like to direct to Al and may be of importance to all. I notice that the damping factor of many high end SS amps such as Pass and Krell is 200 even up to 400. The damping factor of several Ice amps such as Bel Canto and W4S is greater than 1000. As you defined in your related post this is advantageous in bi-amping. Is this an advantage in bi-wiring as opposed to bi-amping and why? Thank you.
For a budget - True bi-wire or bi-wire?
Simple question. I have a speaker with four binding posts and monoblocks with four binding posts(for each channel). If I have a given budget for cables (say $1000), am I better off buying two pairs of identical $500 cables and do a true bi-wire, or buy a $1000 single pair of a typical bi-wired cable (i.e. no separate cable runs, but a biwire that is simply split at the speaker end)?. This is not about any particular calbe I have in mind. It bold down to how does the improvement I get from more expensive cable compare to improvement trough true bi-wire
