Using biwired cables on speakers with only 2 connections


I generally have bought biwire speaker cables in the past, and now I have speakers that can't be bi wired.

Is there any problem if I only use two of the four wires and just Cover the other two wires so they don't touch each other. I hate the fact that I bought really expensive speaker cables and now I have this issue.

Do I use the high pass or the low pass LR pair?  Which have been marked this way so I trust there was actually a reason for them doing this and not just cosmetic

Will this impair sonic performance ?

Maybe a good time to sell your current speaker wires and upgrade. I would look at it as an opportunity to re-optimize for your new speakers. I have found that my ability to discern sonic differences improves decade by decade and I can get much better match’s for my equipment.

 

While I have not done really careful listening tests… I don’t thing biwiring makes a difference above upgrading the connectors from the stock flat metal connectors. I’ve used to use biwired speaker cables. I now put everything into good mono wire (?) cables. Biamping can make a big difference of course, but that is different.
