In order to gain advantages of better sound with bi-wire design speakers, the internal electronic crossover design of speaker must not allow bass signal from amp to travel up speaker cable connected to high frequency pair of mounting posts. If could be your speakers do not have true bi-wire design crossover, and second pair of mounting posts are for cosmetic marketing reasons.....hard to believe that any decent brand of speaker would stoop to this deception. Some high end speaker manf. design more elaborate internal electronic crossovers and do not provide external bi-wire feature, although they are few in number because most recognize the improved sound of external bi-wire feature.
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
