One more BI-WIRE question


I've read as many of the expert opinions on the bi-wire subject as possible and have done my own research and listening test with different speakers I've owned.The electrical theory as to the advantages make sense to me.The question I pose is this:I just bought a pair of monitors from a well known Italian maker that are equiped for bi-wiring.The dealer and US distributor both claim that these speakers would not sound better bi-wired and indeed were not designed to.The only reason for the bi-wire provision was to satisfy the demand of the European market.Does anyone know if one type of crossover design is considered optimum for bi-wiring.Other than marketing I'm trying to figure the makers logic here.....Thanks

I think I know what make you are talking about. Moreover, I recently purchased them (probably the same ones), too. This is not a direct answer to your question, but FWIW, according to the hand-made speaker cable vender who volunteered to talk to the distributor on behalf of me for binding post configuration, the bi-wiring feature will be eliminated in the future model. Besides, I would like very much to know why the manufacturer made them bi-wirable in the first place, too.
