Need help from Vandersteen owners....


I have pair of Treos on the way to my listening room. This is my first pair of Vandersteens and I want get the most out these new speakers. This is also the first speaker I've ever biwired. I've doing my home work but I am lost on several questions regarding biwiring them. Several reports suggested that I should not buy an integral biwire and that only totally seperate wire runs of the exact cables should be used, is this true? I already have a pair of Audience AU24e cables and I could simply buy another pair, but this is a bit costly and I have no Idea if AU24e mates well with Vandersteens. Anyone with experince with AU24e and Vandersteens? I've also heard that the new Cardas Clear light at $1800 for a 3m run biwire is pretty good but that is an integral run not seperate runs. I know I need to listen to a couple different cables but I'm looking for some feed back on what may have worked well for other Vandersteen 3a sig and Quatro owners just for a launching pad to start my evaluations. Any help would be appreicated.

JohnnyR, This is a different approach to jumping BiWire speaker connecters. I have to assume that this sounds better than simply paralleling the + &-. I will give this try

On my other question; do you know if integral bi wires sound inferior to completely separate biwire runs? Many integral biwires have separate tweeter and woofer wires which are of different materials or construction. Richard Vandersteen is pretty clear that all wire runs should be exactly the same. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the help.
