My experience with bi-wiring


Not wanting to debate the issue, which has been done ad nauseum, I just wanted to share my experience in case it's of help to anyone else in a similar position. Originally I single wired my speakers with jumpers made from my speaker cable, but I had been curious about bi-wiring and read all I could both pro and con. The main thing I gathered was that it is a contentious subject that there is no consensus on. I was reluctant to spend the money on something that may not pan out, but as the maker of my speaker recommended bi-wiring, I finally decided to give it a try.  I was impressed that there was a worthy improvement in detail/clarity across the frequency spectrum.  Admittedly any change is speaker dependent and YMMV, but if your speaker brand advocates it, I suggest it's worth a try.

Biwire is mostly a gimmick because most speakers are not truly biwire for each driver independant wire from the Xover is true biwire,most have quasi biwired meaning a jumper internally top to bottom ,just like the cheap jumper that comes with the speakers , that’s why biwiring 
formost speakers is a joke , just make your own jumpers. I bought awg12 Neotech Teflon OCC Copper wire and bought Furutech copper gold spades  that have thick dual screws to secure wires in place which 
BTW much better then solder which is a poor conductor 5% silver or less.
