shotgun vs. bi-wire cables

shotgun is literally two cables joined at the amp end.

the majority of bi-wire cables is when they split the cable, so 1/2 goes to the top and 1/2 to the bottom.
there are some exceptions where there is twice the amount of cable in a internal biwire cable

shotgun is generally better since you get twice the cable, the drawback is the expense

hope that helps,

btw, i have found that a true shotgun offer much better bass response and improved imaging than a split internal bi-wire.

btw,a shotgun configuration can be used in a single termination setup.

some wires such as the tara reference series and the van den hul revalation hybrid offers 1 individual cable per termination.

so in a single wire setup there is a seperate cable for the + and a seperate cable for the -. and in a bire wire situation there would literally be 4 cables per side.

hope that helps.
