Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ?

I now know of 3 people that have converted their speakers to be bi-wired but are not bi-amping .

What is your experience or opinion on why bi-wiring without bi-amping might or does sound better ?

I am concidering converting my speakers but I do not want to be fooled by the addition of increased AWG .

FYI, whenever these discussions come up I think of MIT cables, who put crossover components into their little black boxes.  Clearly, a little inductance and capacitance in the cables seems to have sold many a listener.

Here's my short take on this:

Amplifiers are more susceptible to impedance variations than we think, even in solid state.  I think we are hearing these changes, and when you bi-wire you, perhaps to a very small amount, are changing R, L and C.

Now, the question, _if_ I am correct, and _if_ it makes a difference, is this small change worth $5?  I have no idea, but have you thought about room acoustics??  ;-)
