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 .

Not that it would directly pertain to your situation, but simply improving the jumper situation can have a noticeable improvement...or change, rather. I say this for perspective, as I would not conceive of going to the trouble of changing a crossover to add extra posts. Just improving the crossover with better wire/connections, caps, resistors alone should be more than sufficient. I’m sure I’ll receive some flac for suggesting this, but would it not seem that a biwire configuration would be taking into account cabinet and driver design? Some of the very best speakers out there only have one set of posts. But my current speakers (totem arros) have two sets, and when I simply changed out those factory brass honkers with silver plated audioquest wires...wow, a real improvement (to my ears, anyway). So maybe just some improvements to the existing crossover, unless those parts are already pretty fancy to begin with?
