Question about Bi-Wiring


My speakers, Martin Logan Motion 40's, are bi-wire capable.

But I have not tried to bi-wire them just yet.

I was wondering, if I were to get better jumper cables to replace the default metal plate jumpers that came with the speakers, would that accomplish the same results as actually bi-wiring the speakers

Or

Should I just go straight to actually bi-wiring?

Thanks

My apogee duetta 2's definitely sound better biwiring, even with inexpensive wire. Using thin stranded wire on the bass foil and thick stranded wire on the mid-range tweeters seems to work best.

always amazed here that some people clearly can type, yet cannot read... 🤷‍♂️

Well I appreciate all the feedback, great info.

I will need to test and let my Ears be the judge as to what sounds good in my particular system.

Is there such a thing as bi-wire speakers?

  • I think what we refer to as "Bi-wire speakers"
  • were actually designed for "Bi-amping"

I understand and hear the impact of Bi-amping

But in a Single-Amp system that connects to Bi-Amp speakers

  • I do prefer using a good quality single cable with good quality jumpers
    • i.e. as opposed to Bi-wire cables
  • I also realize some amps come with a second set of outputs
    • but generally, that second set of terminals are connected to the same outputs as the first set

Semantics? - probably 🙄
