Thanks everyone so far youv'e helped get to the point of my post and that is if the manuf.has an explanation for thier suggested wiring config.than by all means elaborate in your literature and in my case the SF owners manual.I can respect the opinions of the makers that do make this clear ie; Dynaudio,Thiel ect.in favor of single wire;Vandersteen,Aerial ect.insist that bi-wire is optimum for thier speakers.Lastly if anyone cares to know after trying several wire combos on my SF Signums,I like them better bi-wired.....
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
