Is it necessary to use the same cable brand and model for bi-wiring??

I have a pair of Wharfdale Denton 80th Anniversary  speakers that can be bi-wired. I have read many pro and cons about bi-wiring improving the sound quality.  I still like to give it a shot, but do not want to use an expensive pair of speaker cables to satisfy my curiosity  All comments and recommendations welcomed

OK, if I don’t want to use cable for tone control, what do you suggest? How do I connect my amp to the speakers?   Bluetooth?

What cable is NOT colored?

You should select cables that compliment your speakers then biwire with identical cables
.
By selecting cables, isn't that tone control?   You prefer tone the selected cable over others?  Every cable has a sonic characteristic?

Yes, all cables have a "character".

Right, you're tone controlling by selecting a cable.   So what's the difference in using same or different cables for bi-wiring, still tone control?

BTW, I would use the same cable for bi-wiring.
What might be a wonderful and expensive cable might not be the best choice for certain speakers or amplifier.
Find a good dealer who is familiar with your speakers and electronics and ask for their advice.
Also, Music Direct sells a variety of cables at various price points and you can try them for a few weeks and have the option to return them if you aren't happy with the sound.
Thats what dealers are for.
How's this relevant to the discussion on tone control?
