I have the Vandersteen 2CE Sig II and Vandersteen highly recommend to use the BiWire. A true BiWire is a pair goes the the amp end then from the amp it split into two separate pair that goes all the way to the speaker end. It doesn't split at the end of the speaker wire so you actual have four wires through out the length of the speaker cable. If you go to Vandersteen website you can look and download the manual for the model 2s. It will show you the difference between the biwires.
Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question
This might sound like a stupid question but I'm going to ask anyway. I see lots of bi-wire speaker cables with one pair wire connection to the amp on one side and two pairs (bi-wire) on the other/speaker end. I always questioned the wisdom and wondered how these cables are made. So here's my question: Are there any benefits in "converting" my regular speaker cables into bi-wire by simply splicing two short pairs of cables, of course same quality as the main cable with connectors on the speaker ends.The speaker in question is Vandersteen 2Ci which doesn't have jumpers. I'm also wondering how folks hook up regular speaker wires to these speakers.
Or, I should also ask if a bi-wire connection mandatory on these speakers? Thanks.
