To Bi-wire or not?

when i bi wired my infinity renaissance 90's i ran into the same problem that Tbromgard had, bass loss, i thought that my speakers also sounded better with a single wire too.

well guys, i wanted to try an experiment, i also have a pair of infinity kappa 9's and we all know how hard they are to run, so for the first time i tried to bi wire them to see if it has something to do with low impedance speakers, when bi wired they sound like you do not have the 4 twelve inch woofers connected (no bass at all) and when they are connected using the single wire bass galore, so i think that it must be a current thing, the amps i am using are two adcom 565 mono blocks, i wonder what is happening.

hi Al, i am using 2 identical sets or pairs of wires, 12 gauge and 6 feet long.

i am ahead of you on this one, i have a rabos system from my infinity preludes that i used to have, it measures the frequencies from 20 to 100hz for the sub for that system, on average there is a 1 to 2db drop on all frequencies from 20 to 100hz when the speakers are bi wired as compared to one single wire, i know 1 to 2db is not much but when i listen and compare a single wire to a bi wire setup, the bi wire setup sounds like less bass.

how could there be an issue with the connectors when i am using 4 new pieces of all the same wire, there can't be an issue with the connectors only when bi wired and not when single wired, it doesn't make sense, also other guys are reporting the same thing too (lack of bass), all our connectors can't be having the same issues, it's just strange, i don't know whats going on here.

hi al, just did the same test using the renaissance 90's that are not as difficult to run as the kappa 9's and i still get a 1db drop from 20hz to 100hz slightly less than the kappa 9's 2db, i still think it has something to do with current, i have all infinity speakers that are mostly hard to run, i have a pair of infinity towers that i use for ht i think they are 6 ohms i will try the test on them to see what happens.

Al, you may be right, anyhow on my infinity's it just sounds better with a single wire and it may be because the infinity's are on the bright side and the bi wire makes them sound even brighter or slightly more detailed, i was gonna run the bass test on my infinity ht towers but there is no option to bi wire them.
