Speaker cables for mid and high

I am running bi-wire with Analysis Plus 9 for low and Analysis Plus 12 for high. Should I have to use the same gauge for both?
Thanks.

Inconclusive results. As Tpsonic says results will vary as every brand will l have its own electrical characteristics. There is a very interesting debate now going on on the HIFICRITIC forum site about the value of biwireing at all. As for myself I have stopped doing it, partly because of cost , but also not sure it is always better.
