bi-wiring 2 way speakers important?stan2
Jul 28, 2002 7:06 AM
...i see the following in a website price list for speaker cable (DH Labs)...

"Internally Biwired pairs
(recommended for most 2-way speakers)"

... i hadn't heard that biwiring was recommended for 2-ways, in particular. is it because with only 2 drivers, it is more important to feed separate signals? (i've never bi-wired speakers, but i just bought some taylo ref monitors from tyler acoustics and i want to do them justice...). whaddya think?

From my experiance, if you hear any change it will be minor, but it may be enough to make a difference depending how particular you are. You may also not hear any change.

I understand that bi-amping is the prefered way to go, but I know very little about this.

I have a pair of B & W Matrix 805's, and they are set up for biamping, which I have not tried, or for biwiring, which I have tried. Believe me, the amp makes so much more difference than the wire! I'm now single-wiring and using the wires themselves as jumpers from bass to treble inputs. This sounded fine, until I killed my amp thru yet another round of (unsuccessful) modification.
