bi wiring


Can anyone tell me what the benifits are for bi wiring speakers. It seems to me that you are accomplishing the same thing as using the jumpers at the binding posts. I can see the benifits of bi amping, just a little confused about bi wiring.

Well Jason after all of this I hope that you will share your experinces with bi-wiring pos or neg. Also let us know what speakers, wire and amp you use. Always good to have some input for or against.
Davemitchell,

"The best way to single wire is to cross wire. Run your positive to the treble positive and your negative to the bass negative and jumper positves to each other and negatives to each other. This averages the loss in sonic performance evenly across the whole speaker. Try it".

I tried it and it does improve the overall balance of
my Dali speakers. I think they are one of the speakers
that are designed to be biwired (I just have not done it yet) and I did not like the sound of the speakers jumped
from top to the bottom as much, but rather "bottom to the
top".(Better overall) But this seems to have evened out the two pretty well.

Next stop will be biwire cables, as soon as I can figure
out which ones to buy.

Davemitchell, I found your post above interesting and has motivated me to post what I'm currently doing. Normally I wouldn't have shared this. (Because it probably doesn't make sence).
I have 3 way Talon Firebirds that are biwireable. My Lamm M1.2 Ref. mono's have 2 sets ea. binding posts. On the top I'm using Stage III Concepts Vacuum Ref. They're mostly silver ribbons with a little gold in a vacuum. I used to jump down with Vacuum Ref. jumpers to good effect. Then I added Jena Labs (lots of high purity cooper) to the bass. Better. Then, and this is what I didn't want to mention, I put the Vacuum Ref. jumpers back in with both cable runs.
To me, in my system, this sounds best. Go figure.
