How to connect bi-wire speakers
When those engineers and professors discuss waveguides and their implications in audio cables, they usually just show characteristic impedance, LCR filter effect losses, impedance losses, etc. They rarely mention phase effects, group delay, etc, a... 
How to connect bi-wire speakers
As an engineer, I will simply state that the concepts and equations behind my statements can be found in any text on electromagnetic theory, and, surprisingly, are pretty simple. The Director for the Center for Audio Research and Engineering, and ...

Hi Edmond,They only way to avoid passing the signal through two sets of binding posts is obviously to use a second set of high quality cables to bi-wire. In the case of Silversmith Audio cables, there is nothing wrong with using Silver cables for ... 
How to connect bi-wire speakers
Briefly, binding posts are one of the worst offenders in terms of audio degradation (thick metal and its affect on the electromagnetic wave as a waveguide). When connecting a bi-wireable speaker with single wire cables, signal must pass through tw... 
How to connect bi-wire speakers
Greetings Edmond,Obviously the connection you described will function, but it will be inferior sonically to connecting both cables to the tweeter terminals. It may have simply been easier to connect the cables the other way because of the way the ...
