Help with bi-wiring

Absolutely do not get caught up in the scenario of using different cables for the highs and lows as this causes problems at the crossover point. See this article from Vandersteen,

This is not a problem especially if you have a pre-amp or receiver that incorporates Audyssey or something similar as it accounts for Phase and timing problems. I have found that Bi- amping ( using two sets of speaker cables and two amp channels ) using provides a more robust and open sound . Better separation of instruments or sounds .
All i can say , is to try it for yourself . Some people will swear that there is no difference, but i disagree.
Depending on the power of your amp, the difference may be small.
If your amp is say 100-150 watts per channel, you would be more apt to hear a difference, versus a larger or more powerful amp.

Ok . I should have read the Article before i responded. I tend to agrre with the article , but using different wires does not always give the poor results that they speak of .
i suppose if you used cables specific for bass response only on the bottom and vice versa , that could present a problem .
I am just talking about mixing cables , not specifically using bass cables for Bass and High frequency cables for the mids and highs .
What i am trying to say is that Bi-amping in most cases is definitely better, but IMO I Do NOT believe they HAVE to be EXACTLY the same wires for upper and lower . I hope this clears up my response .
The GOOD Thing is that they agree . Bi-Amping is better.
I am glad their tests have proven that !
Just trying to help

Well, I have used different cables from top vs bottom and to my ears ,I have not screwed up the sound. I suppose the possibility is there to do so and you can't go wrong by using the same . I just do not agree that if you use different cables , it WILL screw up the sound.
So i will concur that using the same cables top to bottom is a safe bet. No argument on that
