Speaker wiring question
My first pair of speakers with dual binding posts. My question is weather or not it’s ok to connect one of the speaker wires to the positive or negative on the high and one on the low or should the positive and neg be connected to the low or high side posts. This is with the shorting brackets attached. Hope this wasn’t too confusing

I’m sure Nordost has no idea what they’re talking about but I use the positive leg to the bottom and negative to the top and then jumpers. On my system it does make a difference. i don’t use Nordost speaker wires but I have WyWires and Clear Day and both brands I get the same results. Only using the WyWires currently with their jumpers too. Only way to know is try it and hear what works for you. If you don’t hear a difference than life is probably better for you maybe. I tried all three methods as opposed to questioning why it would make a difference. I find it does but as always YMMV. https://nordost.com/downloads/NorseJumperinstructions.pdf |
Both the speakers and integrated were recently purchased (used) and I listened for a couple of hours again today this time connected to the low posts and things did sound better but I also used different Interconnects and am wondering if that was the reason. I'll continue to experiment and may give biwiring a shot down the road as well |
I would like to ask you proponents of bi wiring a question. At what point along the run of speaker wire would jumping across to a second pair of wires constitute "bi wiring"? Could I tap into the original pair at the mid way point, jump across to a second pair of speaker wires and continue on the the speaker terminals? Would that be "bi wiring"? At what point must a second pair of wires be introduced to be considered bi wiring, thus achieving superior sound? |
