What am I missing out on here - Bi- wiring Speaker


Here on Audiogon people suggesting and recommending,if you do not used two individual runs of cables or a shotgun biwire configuration.Then you can use a jumper cables.I am
using a 6 inch set of jumper.They are recommending 30 inches of jumper cables or 1 meter long.What is the ( Sonic difference) that I am missing out on here. Short is not better here and why not. Thank YOU

couple of questions...

what type of speakers do you have ?

what does the manufacure reccomend ?

how high is the resolution of your system ?

if a speaker is designed to be biwired...there is a strong chance you will hear a difference with the biwire route.

IF...... you system resolution is up to it.if you are using it with cheap gear...then there is a strong chance you wont.

ie. if you compare vandersteens or alons or b&w's single wire vs. biwire with good to great gear - there will be a sonic improvement provided the cable is a good match to begin with.

btw, shotgun configuration or a true internal biwire (double the cable) is the best route to sonic nirvana....

hope that helps !!
