bi-wire cables on single binding post, sonic loss?

That's what I'm doing, highs/bananas and lows/spades.

I thought his speakers were single wire+-..........
Will it affect the sound......? I guess not , but then I have never
used bi- wire cable with single terminated speakers.

There is some confusion in the answers posted.
I am referring to identical cables; one pair with 2 spades on both ends; and another pair with 2 spades on one end and 4 spades on the other.

I just doubled up the spades on the same speaker terminal with the bi-wire pair. No audible difference.

If you connect the wires together at both ends (amp and speaker binding post) then technically this is so little different from a thicker gauge of wire as to be of dubious benefit = think about it => you are shorted at both ends so the signal must be the same at both ends the only difference is a lower path of resistance between the two points as you have presumably more wire thickness between the two shorted points.

Bi-wiring works when the speaker allows separation between woofer and tweeter - this means a crossover that is designed to allow bi-wiring. In this case you can use a separate amp to drive each cable and reduce IMD distortion from driving 20 to 20Khz with one beleaguered amp (especially the high current demands of a woofer). Remember that an amps life is much easier if you restrict its load and the frequency range that it needs to cover.

Bi-wring also works well with bi-amping as in a setup using active crossovers => this will probably give the most benefit as the amp does not have to deal with driving a passive crossover so life gets even easier for the amp.

Sugarbrie- I was stating that I (personally) would remove the four spades from the speaker end of the cables, mate the conductors and install only two spades or bananas. This would lessen the chances of the post loosening from cable vibrations(through the extra spade/cable spread), and eliminate a connection. I believe Bar81 missed my point. Is this the confusion you cited?
