How does bi-wiring work?
your speakers need be properly configured with a separate set of mid / high binding posts AND you must use what is called an external biwire speaker cable AND if at all possible physically separate he bass cable from the mid / high cable @tomic... 
How does bi-wiring work?
@megabyte , it just hit me that "WBC" = "Worlds Best Cables." A couple of hours or so ago  I just ordered a set of 6" 8AWG WBC jumpers to experiment with, in addition to the shotgun biwiring I am already doing.  
How does bi-wiring work?
@soix  , just a quick update:  looking at those Audioquest jumpers on Crutchfield they did not appear to me to be terminated with bananas, or actually terminated with anything at all.  So I went to AA's site to look at them, and they had some Q&am... 
How does bi-wiring work?
@soix  , thanks for the input--very much appreciated, and I'll try those affordable jumpers from Crutchfield (the link you provided). I never understood bi-wiring myself, but since my B&W 805s were set up for it and I believe B&W was reco...

How does bi-wiring work?
Thanks, @soix  , yes, that absolutely clears things up. I guess I am shotgun biwiring.  I do have two separate runs to each speaker (to make it easier on the amplifier end I had one run made with bananas to use on the amp end, but spades for the ... 
How does bi-wiring work?
. . . @soix , I guess this is the answer to my (above) question?   If your speakers are bi-wirable and you're still using the stock jumpers between your binding posts, you are not hearing all that your speakers are capable of. Most stock jumpe... 
How does bi-wiring work?
@soix  , this is probably a stupid question, but what is "shotgun" biwiring? And to clarify--does it matter that the jumpers you used in conjunction with the biwire are bananas?  The reason I ask about that is because I still have the (gold plate... 
How does bi-wiring work?
+1, @knotscott  , that is kind of the way I look at it.  
How does bi-wiring work?
@jmeyers  , your question interests me as well.  I have an ancient (30 year old) pair of B&W 805 (the Matrix seies) that are set up for bi-wiring, so back in the days when I was making a lot of money, I did bi-wire them.  I have a real tough t...

Teagan and Sarah covering Dancing In The Dark is kind of cute.  
Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described
Thanks for the update and I am happy you at least got the purchase refund back.  Reading this thread is enough to keep me from using paypal.

I forgot to say that I really like Lucinda Williams’ cover of The Games People Play. At a concert back in ’99 at which Lucinda was opening for Tom Petty, she told us (the crwod) that she really like Tom Petty’s cover of (Lucinda’s) Changed The Lo...
