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?

Even if biwiring has audible benefits, it creates a whole load of unneeded complexity. It also means that the speaker cable budget has to be split across two sets of cables rather than using one better cable for the same budget and more than likely negating any audible benefits from bi-wiring with inferior cable.
