Vandersteen speakers and biwiring


Does anyone have experience with Vandersteen speakers and using a true biwire (not where the cables are sheathed together except for 6 inches where they connect to the speaker, but where there are two separate lines of cable being used)? What were the results? Was the sound drastically better than a single wire run with a jumper?

Arguable.

IME, it depends on if you are using single or stranded. I noticed an actual increase in performance (to my liking) when biwiring custom 18AWG dead soft 4N silver with teflon. I biwired with stranded wires (various types) and found that while it increased the soundstage- there was an undeniable smearing.
