Biwire cable on a standard 2 terminal speaker?
All my AQ shotgun cables came directly from AQ and at their suggestion.Kal 
Biwire cable on a standard 2 terminal speaker?
I have several sets of AQ shotgun biwires and none have any differentiation between the two runs.Kal 
VPI table connected to Meridian Pre amp- no sound
You need a phono stage.Kal 
Biwire cable on a standard 2 terminal speaker?
1. If there's a network to separate the high and low frequencies (which I doubt), you would want to defeat that separation by combining the wires for a non-biwired speaker.2. OTOH, the presence of such a network (which I doubt) would impose a loss... 
Prepro into a Preamp into an Amp??
Take a look at the Parasound Halo P7. It has features which make it unique for HT bypass use.Kal 
Favorite Telarc releases.....
The Boston-Zanders are not on Telarc but I recommend both his Boston recordings (Le Sacre is a blast!) and his Telarc Mahlers/Beethovens highly.Kal 
Correction of room acoustics. E-traps?
I get your point but think you are too liberal in saying it is "in the signal path." That definition might include everything in the room, including us.Also, note that a room mode at 30Hz is usually accompanied by submodes at all the harmonics, as... 
Correction of room acoustics. E-traps?
Shadorne-How can the E-trap add audible distortion at higher frequencies when (1) it is not in the signal path and (2) it is sharply frequency limited by design? I take your point about potential THD in the low bass but the ear is more tolerant to... 
Correction of room acoustics. E-traps?
It works well. See: http://www.stereophile.com/hirezplayers/708mitr/index1.html and it make no compromise at all of your electronics.The PARC/subPARC are more universal and general solutions.You might consider learning to do some simple measuremen... 
Biwiring and impedance
OK. I understand. You raised a point that could be critical in some situations but it is not germane to the issue here.Kal 
Home Theatre Question
There is no acoustical or performance merit to having the speakers in the ceiling; it is simply meant to eliminate having real speakers in the room or in the walls. That said, many people (not including me) find it satisfactory especially if they ... 
Biwiring and impedance
You keep saying the same thing but you still have not answered the question I keep asking. How is this any different from having the same amp drive the same speaker without biwiring? Without addressing this, your statements are not relevant to thi... 
Simple question re; using two sets of speaker taos
Since the A/B switch will disconnect one set when the other is selected, there will be no degradation when either is played.Kal 
Biwiring and impedance
Sorry, Bob, I was not aiming at you. I am trying to see if Zieman has some reasons for his statement that "Buffered amps and throughput (Krell) amps can see a super low impedance from the high freq posts."Kal 
Biwiring and impedance
OK, that is not too uncommon but the effect would be the same (if not worse) with the the woofer connected. Any woofer load would be in parallel with and, therefore, would lower the impedance even more. Besides, the same amp is connected to both H...
