Von Schweikert VR-4JR Bi-Wire

I just bought a set of VR-4's and wish to bi-wire them. My challenge is that the distance from the top speaker post to the bottom is about 25". I don't, for looks sake only, want to run two separate cables.

The first cable I tried, a cheap one thank goodness, didn't reach both speaker posts. I've heard that Analysis Plus is a good match but am not sure they would reach either. Does anyone know of a bi-wired cable that would match the VR-4's distance challenge while still sounding great? Thanks for any insight you can all shed.

You'll likely have to have something custom made. You could do something yourself with four conductor Canare 4S11 by running the intact cable from amplifier to the speaker's lower module where you would split out two conductors to the lower module and continue the remaining two conductors to the upper module.

It would result in a pretty clean installation.

I used Canare 4S11 with my VR4 Gen III HSE, and I also used MAS Hybrid Signature, which is another four conductor speaker cable that can be bi-wire configured. AudioParts Inc., the seller of the MAS cable, could probably configure it to suit your requirements.

Kimber 8TC and just unravel it back into the length you need. I'm using Kimber in a 3/5 (high/low) set up.

Just use two separate runs of cable for each speaker. Make sure your amp's posts can handle a stacked pair of spades first though.

He doesn't want to do that, Aball.

Many people recomend Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun biwire for these speakers. I'm using it, fits fine.
