How many audiophiles bi wire their speakers????


I was wondering if Audiogon member use dedicate cables or amps for the upper and lower drivers?..if so were you pleased with the results?..does different jumpers cables have different sound signatures?...

Unclejeff, with a horizontal biamp, one amp is used to power the mid/tweeter of both speakers and the other amp is used to power both speakers woofer sections. In a vertical biamp one amp becomes the left and the other the right channel with say the designated left channel of that amp powering the mid/tweeter and the designated right channel powering the woofer. The supposed advantage is that one amp is not overly taxed driving both speakers woofer sections. It is thought that there will rarely be high level bass and treble in one channel at the same time and the amps will have a greater power reserve and better dynamics.
BMWhaus, I prefer my N802's single wired and yes the short jumper cables make a significant difference. I made some solid core jumpers, Monster cable, radio shack 16 gauge, against the factory jumpers and ended up using the B&W ones. I use Audio Magic Excaliber speaker cables.
