Freaky speaker experience:

I have the Nuforce 9SE pre's and amps. I had them attached to my Focal JMLABS 936; bi-wired at the speaker but single ended at the amp. They sounded soooo crappy (tinny, bright, fatiguing) that I was ready to toss them off the second floor window. :) Could'nt understand. For kicks, I single wired it using the original jumpers. Now they sound awesome. About 10 cd's later still awesome.????? They sound different but as good as my Totom Mani's. Any ideas about the bi-wiring? Too much juice going to the high end?

Any chance you had one set of drivers hooked up out of phase?

Did you go back to bi wire to see if it happens again?

Al- in your opinion when the speaker jumper is removed to bi wire would that change driver impedances the amp sees as now the crossover is presenting different cap and inductor values to the amp driving them which happens to be the same for both woofers and high frequencies;maybe that seperation of the drivers is causing a strange impedance presentation to his amps? Just a thought.
