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 .

Hello,
I feel like we flew down the perpetual rabbit hole. That being said I wanted to add or highlight some of the comments. If you have those hard metal factory jumpers please put them away with your manuals and just use some decent copper wire as jumpers. Second is the by biwireing it gives you some advantages. The first being you can increase your amount of wire going to the speakers but more importantly you can use different speaker cables for the two sets of terminals. You could have a thick copper cable on the woofers and a smaller silver cable on the tweeters. It gives you the ability to customize the sound. You do not have to do this but I do. I use a 12 ga copper wire on the woofers and a double up 16 ga on the tweeter. This is Analysis Plus speaker wire. I have tried several combinations and this sounded incredible. Bottom line it gives you the options to add more cable and/or use a different cable to optimize your sound. That being said please do speaker placement optimization and room correction with room treatments first before spending money on these things. Thank you all and I appreciate all of your help and insight.
