Separating BiWire Cables


I have a pair of Jena Labs shotgun biwire spkr cables, with 2 terminations on amp end, 4 on spkr end for each cable.

I now have new speakers which do not accept biwire. Can I use just 2 of 4 terminations on each speaker end and still get full range sound, or would I only be getting treble/midrange or bass?

Thank you.

yeah, i would try what rcrerar said - just try to clamp down two spade connections on each post. some contact cleaner might help, too.

i've done that before on martin logans and preferred it (with jumpers connecting the bass) to biwire. and if you still like the sound of the jenas (and odds are you will) with your new speakers, you could look at getting them reterminated if you want.
aw, that is too bad. i know nothing about how well they will or won't work with one end simply insulated and unconnected.

i would still see if jena could either reterminate them or give you the name of someone they recommend. depending on how old they are, a retermination might not be a bad thing anyway.
