Mdhoover, I have not experienced an advantage of bi-wiring over single
run wiring with jumpers, but others might say otherwise. I have long
speaker cable runs of 30', and twisting the opposing leads of the Canare
4S11 (red/clear red and white/clear white) into two leads provided the
same performance as bi-wiring. I think spending the money on four
lengths is a waste, especially for a short run. Canare 4S11 is a good
value because it provides four twisted leads that can be combined into
two leads. Are you using them this way? You should try it.
MAS Signature Hybrid has a similar configuration but uses copper and
silver wire, and can be either terminated to allow bi-wiring, or twisted
pair in a larger gauge. You don't mention how long your runs are, so I
can't give you a MAS Signature comparison at $400, but there is a used
8' pair currently available on Audiogon for $170. The new MAS cables
come with a 30 day MBG. You can contact Stu Wein via one of his ads
for MAS interconnects.
