On most decent systems in a room without too much ambient noise a person with good hearing can indeed tell the difference between wiring the M/T vs. woofer. You should try it both ways. Likely you will hear a "significant" ( subjective term in this discussion) difference. You should hear clearer, more delicate treble and riper midrange if that is wired up; however, the bass will soften and lose a touch of tightness.
Conversely, if you wire the bass you will get it tighter, but then you will lose a bit of clarity and forwardness on the treble and mid.
Once you are disgusted that you cannot have the benefits of both, then I suggest you bi-wire. :)
