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 .

I have always bi-wired my speakers.
The concept makes perfect sense if you consider that the voicecoil is kinda like an electric motor.
Give it power and it goes.
but an electric motor is also an electric generator if the movement is caused by an exterior force.
The driver doesn't comes to rest instantaneously after being driven by the amplifier.
momentum keeps it going and that can cause the creation of current which feeds back to the tweeter. potentially.
Bi-wiring gives this current a place to go as it is drawn to the ground of the amplifier.
Path of least resistance and all that.
It all depends on your listening preferences like a new cart, or a new set of speakers. I am enjoying my "bi-wirging" experience. Some music sounds more open to me bc my ears are different than anyone elses. Good luck with your search bc it's your search, and it's awesome that it's your search alone
I tend to agree with several other respondents, especially regarding adding terminals to the speakers if they were manufactured with just one set — I don’t think I would bother.  But the Martin Logan 60XT’s I bought allow bi-wiring/bi-amping.  I had one good amp and didn’t feel the need to buy a second amp, but the speaker cables to allow bi-wiring weren’t much more expensive than the standard cables, so I thought “why not?”    I don’t know whether the bi-wiring improves the sound, but it was inexpensive to check that box, so I went for it.
In my experience, my Silverline Sonata-III speakers with biwired cable sound more analytical, even if the cable is warm (like the Silverline's own biwire cable).
