Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable
I'm going to purchase some AQ speaker cables, and am considering bi-wired AQ Robin Hood Zero vs full range William Tell Zero (with quality jumpers). The bi-wired RH is about $500 more expensive than the full range WT, but on a comparable basis, WT is the more expensive cable. Any thoughts on sound quality between the options I described above would be greatly appreciated.
@thyname "And I do use two speaker runs from my amp to my speakers. My amp has dual speaker taps." One question and one answer follows: 1. Do you think two speaker runs are better than bi-wiring with one cable? 2. My amps are two PS Audio M1200 mono-blocks and my speakers are B&W 802/D2. |
Thanks to everyone who replied. The comments/suggestions were very helpful and informative. I pulled the trigger today, and purchased two full-range speaker cable pairs (1) the AQ Robin Hoods and (2) AQ Thunderbirds, a step-up from the William Tells. Will try them both, and will return one. One additional question has come up, based upon a couple responses. Several folks suggested I should connect the speaker cables to the bass speaker posts, and then jumper to the treble posts. AQ's US retail price book, on page 23, suggests the opposite, for 3 way speakers (I have B&W 802/D2's). Thoughts? |
