Advantages of bi-wire?

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

Depends on the speaker. I have done both single and biwire. In the biwire runs I usually use a smaller gauge wire for the HF. It also depends on the speaker cable and its ability to accurately portray the HF range. If this is the case, I use jumpers.

Boring.

My Maggies come factory ready for bi-wiring/amping.
But, since I'm a poor skeptic, I simply changed out the AWFUL Chrome Plated Steel jumpers for some hand-whittled 6ga copper and feel so much better that is sounds better! The wire was 0.40$/foot.
