How does bi-wiring work?


To start, I do bi-wire my main speakers. However, I am somewhat confused about how bi-wiring works given that the speakers have internal crossovers and the signals received by them have the same full frequency range going to both sets of terminals.

I confess that I don't see any difference from single wiring in terms of the speaker's performance. What am I missing?

I recently converted my DIY Mogami W3104 cables into a bi-wire configuration for my Sonus Faber Olypica Nova V speakers removing the stamped metal jumpers. I immediately heard increased detail and was actually shocked, because I wasn't expecting it.  Unfortunately, I am not completely sold on this setup as it appears a bit too bright at higher levels now.  I need to do some more listening sessions to decide if it was just that particular album or two or if the metal jumpers are going back in.
