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 .

The only benefit of bi‐wiring is the increased speaker wire gauge equivalent you get running two sets of wires. Running a twin set of wire is equivalent to increasing the speaker wire guage by 3. For example, running two 14 guage wires is equivalent to running a single 11 guage wire. I have tried both routes and I would say If the cost is minimal, there is no harm in running a bi‐wire setup. I wouldn't go to the trouble of adding dual binding posts to a set of speakers though to accomplish this.
