Simple Question. Simple Answer?


Istead of using jumper cables on my bi-wireable speakers I stripped 3" on the ends of my Kimber cables and ran them through the LF post and on up to the HF post. I took the flat connector plate off. Did I do the right thing using one unbroken wire to complete both circuts? Would making a seperate jumper from the same wire sound better, worse or the same? I could try it of course but this would require stripping an additional 32 individual wires. I did it with a medium sharp box cutter before because both of my strippers had a tendancy to damage some of the individual strands, it took a long time and that was for only 16 wires. I have read previous posts on the subject but they do not address the one wire method that I used. I would also be up to trying a seperate silver wire jumper if I could make it myself on the cheap. Could I use a solid core silver wire for this in one run with no insulation or connecters? If so what gage would I want to use? My mono amps for bi-amping did not come in on a shipment as expected so I would like to experiment with this in the meantime. This is why I would rather put more thought than money into the project other than the fact that I am cheap. Thanks.

The answer is simple.Open up the back of the speakers.Take the wire off the top posts connect it to the bottom post and low and behold you have rid yourself of the problem.when you are ready to bi Amp hook it up again.Bi-wire is the poor man's answer to Bi-Amp and really is a scam.I have spoken to many and they concur.I had my speakers recently changed to single wire by the MFG.He told me the ones I had where one of only a few he had ever Bi wired because he had had a special request for it.He stated that properly designed speakers do not need or benifit from bi wiring.my speakers sound better know that they are single wired.So save yourself tge trouble.the publisher of Bound for Sound is also saying the same thing in print.
