Bi-wire Cable Choices?...

I've had the Q10s biwired from a Rogue 88 amp to Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rod speakers for about a year and find them to be a well balanced cable(not excessively bright with good bass). I upgraded on advice from a person in the business who knows the Shearwater speakers very well. Only thing I can compared them to are DH Labs T14 which were definitely brighter and leaner on the bass. I've also tried biwiring with Monster cable but the Q10s deliver a fuller sound with better sound stage. I bought my 11 foot pair on this site for about $180.

I own Canare Star Quad 4S11 too!! I never really compared them to anything else. They seem pretty good to me.

Sorry, one other thing to add about the 4S11 by Canare: they seem to deliver excellent bass, which was improved (in my system, mind you) even more with Dakiom feedback stabilizers. (Those are an entire topic unto themselves; people have varying experiences and Tvad posted some nicely thought out response threads to my review of those...) However, I also own a Rel Storm sub-bass unit which is just phenomenal. It is the single best component in my system, I think. So how well these cables would do for the bass in other systems is unknown to me.

Mdhoover, even though I think the Canare 4S11 is a terrific bargain, my system displayed a touch of edginess and brightness when I had the Starquad in my system. It's that sound I was hoping to tame with the Dakioms, and they actually did soften that edge. But, it wasn't until I replaced the Starquad with MAS Signature Hybrid speaker cable that the edginess and hash disappeared completely.

Tvad, that's interesting. The local dealer is touting the Audioquest CV-6. Those would be about 400 bucks. How much are the MAS Signature Hybrid speaker cables? Do you know anything about the CV-6?

Also, (if you have the time and patience) can you educate me a little on biwiring? Specifically, am I really gaining anything by having only two connections to the wire at the amp and then branching into four to "biwire" at the speaker end? The amp is the ST 140 and has only a single + and - post for each channel. It does NOT have 4 posts per side, so I'm NOT "bi-amping".

In this setting, is this "bi-wiring" just some sham, or is there really some benefit beyond a "regular" cable run? Thanks for the help.
