Bi-wire v's single with jumper leads.

You dug up a 4 year old thread to reopen the can of worms it already was?

Jkorten, since you opened the can of worms, here is something else for you to read that talks about more than just the intermodulation issue.

Bi-wire, not only an advantage

If you like bi-wire, great, I'm happy for you. In reference to the OP, I prefer single wire with jumpers of the same wire.

Jkorten, It is not only resistance but also inductance. For instance inductance of 10ft 12 gauge wire (counting both ways) at 5kHz is 20x350nH=7uH resulting in reactance of 35mohm in addition to 32mohm resistance, resulting in impedance of Z=47mohm

IMO bi-wiring is one of the few contentious issues in audio that there is no point in analyzing or debating theoretically. There are many subtle technical effects that can come into play to a small degree, a lot of them having been mentioned above and in the links that were provided, and their net result will, as I see it, undoubtedly be system and listener dependent.

P.S: Kijanki, don't forget the 2pi factor for inductive reactance (which your post 4 years ago correctly reflected). 35 milliohms should be 220 milliohms, and Z = 222 milliohms.

Thanks Al, it was 2AM - my brain does not work that late.
