to bi-wire or not?

Bi-wire…no…bi-amp-yes

I would think if amp is less current demanding then try the 14 awg...i need some current capability for my amp/speakers...same gauge jumper <>...11 gauge lower inputs/speakers/good jumper give you the most canare offer’s in single wire...there’s my 2 imho.

dang it that's the terminology BiWire Shotgun. So the Wires arrived one Banana fell apart in my hands but was able to just use the bare wire to get it hooked up .

 Quick details on my current rig very modest to say the least.

Rotel Rc995 preamp

Simaudio Celeste w4070SE Amp

TDL Studio 1 (old as heck like everything else just have a tough time switching them out) I keep on waiting

Ifi Zen Dac v2

Ipad pro for streaming (Gets the job done for me currently) 90% of my listening.

Nakamichi NB4s CD Player (old and heck gets the job done )

mixed interconnects .

was using Cardas speaker cable don't know specific model grabbed it for 200.00 2 10 foot runs years ago .

14 gauge home made jumpers

my humble opinion and its only been a hour or so there is a definitive difference in bottom end very quick and robust if that at all makes sense .Vocals have taken center stage like never before.  Mids and Highs are a bit overwhelming I am going to wait for some burn in time to come to my final conclusion .

I mostly listen to Live Music Grateful Dead The Who Jimi Hendrix Muddy Waters Throw in some Miles Davis and John Coltrane and just about everything in between.

Well there you have it I will post more when as I give it more time . Feel free ask questions or give suggestions .

Currently Vodoo Chile JH is playing .

+1 raysmtb1 - Bi-wire no, bi-amp yes.

I have Joseph Audio Perspectives.  I talked to Jeff and he said I would be better off spending on better single run and than use a good jumper.  I went with Cardas Clear speaker wire and Cardas Clear jumpers.  Recently moved to mono blocks and decided to located amps closer to speakers to shorten speaker wires.  I sent my existing Cardas Clear back to Cardas and had them reconfigured into a true shotgun set of cables.  After making the move there maybe a little more detail but really hard to tell.  In the end not sure it is worth the extra cash if you don't already have the cable.  

All the speakers I’ve owned that had a no wire option benefited from them being bi wired . Some more than others. Usher be 718 was a totally different speaker 

Big difference on my Tannoy Canterbury, in favor of biwire. 

@nonoise Not sure I would change a thing.  that is a pretty heavy solid silver cable you have for your highs and it makes sense that the dynamic portions of the music benefit from it.  

The only reason to use the same speaker wires for both sets of a bi-wire is OCD.  If it sounds great, don't change it.

Even when I've done asymmetric biwire, it's still been better than single wire. Just don't go TOO far off design principles or lengths between the two. For a while I used a 6 ft AQ Mont Blanc (12 AWG copper) on bottom and a 7 ft KE-4 (15 AWG silver) on top and it sounded great, competing on par with the more expensive AQ Redwood symmetric biwire. 

To those who say absolute symmetry is required - that "perfectly symmetric" signal is going through two TOTALLY different sets of drivers and crossover parts anyways. 

I've moved on to symmetric biwire and its great, but like I said I'll still take most asymmetric biwires over single wire. 

@carlsbad , too late! 
I've changed things since the last post and now I'm using some jumpers made by the same company that makes my speaker cables: Darwin Cables. 
Best set up to date.

All the best,
Nonoise
