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?...

My experience is on the much lower end here than most people, but in a setup that's basically all NAD gear and a pair of Wharfedale 8.3 speakers I notice a difference in biwiring... I'm just not sure it's positive, negative, or simply different. Half of my reason for going biwire was the pathetic thin plate jumpers that bridged the HF/LF terminals.

Given that the speakers were designed with biwire terminals I have been using them for a while without much questioning. I plan to experiment with some quality jumpers.

Most of my assesments end up as "inconclusive" due to the fact that I'm still a college student... Just when I think I have speaker positioning and system tweaks nailed, one of the following happens...

- The female I live with rearranges the room or decides that my speakers are in an unacceptable location (or that they have to be positioned "neatly" - i.e. flat up against a wall/corner or similar nightmare)

- I have 4 aerospace exams in 3 days and end up forgetting what my system sounded like before I let it idle during finals week.

- It's time to go home and all my room specific tweaks are negated when I take my stereo home for break/vacation.
