Advantages of bi-wire?

Tvad, must be a Friday, huh?!

And where is Kal?
He is usually chiming in about now on this particular subject. He is a HUGE believer in bi-wiring his speakers!
Right Kal?

Dealers love buy-wired speakers.

No explanation of the superiority bi-wiring has ever made any sense to me. I do bi-wire my speakers because it didn't cost any more for bi-wire cables, and they're easier to use with Vandies. Also it's easy to make your own bi-wire cables.

Seriously, like many things in audio the proof is in the listening. Systems differ. Speakers differ. Listeners differ.

Discussing it on the web never really yields a conclusive majority opinion.

Try bi-wiring versus single wiring/jumpers, and decide for yourself which is better (if in fact either is better).

Cool. My speakers are AR9's (vintage--they might be older than some of you so that you don't know the speaker. Came out in about 1978 and ran until '81 when I bought mine). I have them biamped now and have never bi-wired anything. I'm thinking about getting the hk990 integrated. I am surprised that that there is not agreement on the superiority of bi-wiring. I thought it was a given. So I've learned soemthing already. Lynne
