How many audiophiles bi wire their speakers????

Ditto, Dogeatpuppy. Sort of...

Whether I biwire or use single runs of speaker cable depends on the cables I'm using, the music I'm playing and the mood I'm in.

With girls, I like 'em olive, earthy and curvy.

I have some Tannoy D-700's. Started off at first with only one McIntosh amp and regular wiring. Bought some high end speaker cables and BIG sonic improvement! Bi-wiring made no noticeable sonic improvement.

Bought 'another' MC352 amp and "vertically bi-amped"...BIG BIG sonic improvement. Essentially, the high end and low end of each speaker has its own separate amplification.

Bi-wiring two similar two channel amps is a much more dynamic setup than using two monoblock amps with regular or bi-wiring.

I just don't think biwiring one amp alone is worth anything. Would like to hear other's opinions on this.

Dave-
English is a funny language when written. I meant to say that I had both biampmped (with 2 amps) and biwired (with one amplifier). Lots of energy and resources expended but again, for me, no significant difference.

This is an interesting thread. I could start another thread but I think my question can fit here.

oops, make that....just a few....question(s!)

What is the differance between vertical and horizontal bi-amping. Of course I know what up-and-down and accross is, but how does one go about this on speakers. I have Kef Referance 205s and there are three sets of speaker inputs.

Second, is there anything I sould be aware of before trying? Sometimes I have a habit of "throwing it against the wall and see what sticks" approach to fixing things and this has gotten me into trouble......several times.

All advice, even beyond the above is appreciated.
