I recently had a bi-wire set-up with a pair of CRL/FIM cables on the bottom and a pair of Virtual Dynamics Master 2.0 cables on the top. While to me the sound was fine, it wasn't what I was quite expecting from bi-wiring. The sonics of each cable were clearly audible and as Davemitchell points out the set-up was somewhat non-coherent.
In the end I'm looking for a one brand solution to try out. However if I had my druthers I would bi-amp, with a tube amp for the top end and a solid state for the low end. I think bi-amping is a better solution than bi-wiring.
