Tannoy Speakers & Bi-wiring
You'll find many different opinions on bi-wire, but I do believe it is best to do a true bi-wire, this is what Vandersteen recommends, which is 2 separate runs of identical cable. IMHO, I would agree with Stereo5 and use Audience Au24 jumpers to replace the brass ones. I tried bi-wire with different speakers and different cables, and it always seem to lose coherence compared to single wire with matching jumpers. This article seems to explain why, http://www.sonicdesign.se/biwire.html |
I have played around with Biwiring with my earlier ATC and my present Tannoy Turnberry SE. With ATC, biwiring has a tremendous effect on the positive side, no negatives at all. With Tannoy however I prefer single wired sound. It is tighter and more coherent with single wiring. Biwiring makes it sound less grounded and more hifi overall. Go for a high quality speaker cable and Tannoy's own jumpers which they supply for the Canterburry. |
Kiddman, The amps are M-60's v 3.1. I find the bass in my room great, full and articulate. Previously I had Merlin speakers and when I whet from Quicksilver V-4's to the Atma-sphere's, I think it really brought out the bass more. Of course with the Tannoys, and the much larger driver, all the more. The Merlin's were really quick though. |
