Going from Bi wire to Single wire

Hello all

I'm in the process of making my own speaker cables out of neotech NES 3001 and was encouraged to internally connect my HI/Lo frequency together, thus eliminating the biwire and making a single wire set up.  The benefit I'm told is of course improved sound.  My speakers are SF evolution.  Thoughts please.  Thank you.

"..... I was told that physically going inside the speakers and
connecting the two posts (hi/lo) would be best...."

Redphu72: With profound curiosity , just who was it that boldly told you that???

can you please explain?

I think there are some that think soldering is a better connection than terminated wire connections and binding posts.

Seems a bit extreme for minimal effect and also inconvenient.

FWIW I have 2 sets of cables that I keep and swap out from time to time. One is an internal bi-wire configuration and the other is a different brand of hi-end cable with single terminations. I use jumpers for those.

They both sound very different. But they are different cables. Each has their own merit.

So from time to time I switch them out just for fun.

I do have a favorite one but I'm not telling.
