I took out the magnepan jumpers and "bi-wired" my 1.6 speakers using two runs of apex signature speaker cable. I've also ran them using a single run but think the double run is better. If you find a pair of these cables (not made in 10 yrs)get them. They have made a huge difference in soundstage and power compared to nordost flatline gold and blue heaven. I have not heard anything better when it comes to speaker cable but I have not heard all of the present high priced offerings.
Magnepan 1.6QR : to bi-wire or not to bi-wire
Hello, everyone!
I'm looking into speaker cables for my Maggie 1.6QR and would like to know whether bi-wiring would improve the performance of the 1.6QR.
I understand that certain speakers do sound much better bi-wired while others would do not produce significant improvements to justify the cost of a bi-wire.
I've even heard that bi-wiring would cause the speakers to lose coherence between the bass and the trebles. Is there any truth in this?
Your experienced advise is most appreciated. Thanks!
Best regards.
