I know that many of you believe there is no real performance difference between the various brands of speaker cable. Any correctly terminated cable of the correct gauge will do.

What about bi-wiring speakers? Any real difference from bi-wiring (not bi-amping) speakers like Paradigm Studio 100's?

Theory says that there's no difference between bi-wiring and using a larger single cable.

Paradigm says this: [Link: paradigm.ca]

I disgree(cable dose matter bi wired or not ) I was of the same thinking in tell I was introduced to transparant and if you doing surround sound its a costly up grade but well worth the money go hear for your self you will be blown away and anyone who can't hear a diffrents needs to have there ears checked

Biwiring is the best $ for$ upgrade any Paradigm owner. Have been a dealer forever and the serious listeners are thrilled with the results. (originally 12 guage run , then addition of another run of 12 guage)

bi-wire with tara helix 8. As a Paradigm owner/dealer I can tell you it works

you're hearing what you want to hear.

If a speaker has 2 set of poles, then bi-AMP that SOB... Get a Rane electronic crossover, 2 good amps (one 100 watt, one 50 watt), and wire em up.

Yeah thats a great idea, I might try it but look at the $ difference.

There is a benefit to biwiring but the most overlooked one is the replacement of those brackets that link the high and low speaker binding posts with speakerwire. Try it.

are you saying to replace your brige clips with speaker wire, will make a diffrents? I will try that, now thats a cheap upgrade.

Ah, the emperor's new speaker wires.

I bi-wired my KLH Speakers and it gave them an extra 100 watts!

Absolutely, excurciatingly* RIGHT! But how much bigger would it have to be to be to give the same improvement in clarity that bi-wiring can give?

I just spent a half hour doing the math, and it was getting more and more eye-glazing. Let me just suggest that running a second set of, say, 14 gauge wire for the high frequency portion of a speaker is probably similar to running 8 gauge or 6 gauge without bi-wiring.

Anybody up for that?

I find pulling a 14-4 instead of a 14-2 MUCH preferable to pulling a 6-2 or an 8-2. And who makes them, anyway? Especially stranded?




*Thank you, ComputerGuy. I just might make this my word of the year!

What is the equasion?


Be nice! As someone who spells as well as he speaks chinese [ see above ] I find it hard to cast stones. Bravo for spell check!

can I, I mean my PC, spell check my posts? I might as well be "The King of All Typos!"
