I am stunned


After reading these forums for awhile I can finally say that I am a skeptic no longer with respect to biwiring. I recently purchased a demo pair of Martin Logans from a local dealer and found that I did not have enough money to purchase a decent set of speaker cables. As I was getting ready to take the speakers home the dealer stopped me and offered to loan me a set of cables until I had enough cash (Great Dealer!!!) to purchase some cables. Well, when I got home I discovered that the Logans were easily biwirable and that the cables he lent me were biwire cables. When I auditioned the Logans the dealer must have connected the jumpers when I told him I was not interested in biwiring a set of speakers. I figured what the hell, lets give it a try. I connected everything up, popped in a CD and my mouth fell to the floor. Unbelievable. So from one ex-skeptic to anyone who has a doubt. Biwiring works, I am an EE and frankly do not care why anymore.

I have posted this in other bi-wire threads, but for speakers designed for bi-wire the only consideration for the customer is does the additional cost of bi-wire ($500 + $500) sound better than a more expensive single run of speaker cable ($1000) with jumpers. The answer to this depends on what cables are being considered.
Even though I bi-wire I recognize there is no one correct
answer to this subject, each person must try out on their own system and see if it is worth the additional cost.

I take it from LiGuy that he feels the improvement is worth the additional cable cost. Also LiGuy the bi-wire improvement is maximized when two runs of speaker cable are used versus a single internal bi-wire cable which is an effective compromise to keep cost down.
