The vandersteen site quotes r. vandersteen that "the difference is not subtle", re: bi-wire vs. single. Pat Mcginty of Meadowlark says about the same thing. Determining if there is a commonality in the crossovers might put you on the right track.B... 
Please help: Something wrong with my spkrs
I could blow out a fused anvil but I noticed in your post the reference to the problem occurring shortly after you switched to bi-wire cable. A defect in them could be causing a short, right guys?

Are Carver amps worth a damn?

Biwiring 101
Assuming the science behind the empirical findings is correct, the Vandesteen FAQ info on bi-wiring makes terrific sense. The other topics on the page are also good reading, not just hype. Thanks, Megasam.
