Single vs Double Bi-wire....should I reconsider?


I just finished setting up new 2CE Sig 2s.  I just purchased Rocket 44 in a single B-wire as AQ had said that would still outperform a double bi-wire type 4. The Vandersteen manual seems to strongly suggest true bi-wire.

At twice the price - is it worth it to try and change the order to get double bi-wire?

Good move on getting double run.  I've been listening to Vandersteen as my primary speaker for over 25 years now going from 2ci's to 2ce Sig to original Quatro and now Quatro CT, and obviously quite happy.  Recall I started off with double run AQ Type 4 and went up to AQ Slate double run.  Now running Cardas cables -- the larger Cardas blocks have "V" channels separators that work well to provide some distance in routing cables as well as serving notice to guests not to step on the wires!  Make sure your speaker spade termination is spec'd to Vandersteen sizing.  

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that - I'll double check the Vandersteen specs against the AQ spades. Thanks.
Hi Jetson--good catch on my bad link and I'm glad you still found the article.  I'm using true double bi-wires to my model fives (AQ Pikes Peak) and the cable is "heavy enough" to just lie there separated by the requisite 1" to 2".  If I was ever going to make spacers (maybe to get them up off the floor) I was thinking balsa wood would be both inert and easily finished with stain/varnish to look presentable.  

And as Audiorsch states, make sure the spades will fit into the Vandy terminal strips which typically have barriers between each post.

I checked on the spades - all good with the AQ cables.

For spacers - I thought I might do something in wood - it will match the floor and look nice. The other alternative is that I can make a computer model and one of the guys that works with me has a 3D printer.
