jpk Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 []salvation I would like to know if its worth the bi-wiring for my rf-52 thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 No, not really. Some say they can hear a difference but its most likely placebo. You might want to look at http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxx Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Not worth the time and effort, IMHO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer clown Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I would think if you felt the need to balance frequencies it would be beneficial.Of course this would would require an amp that was bi-amp capable,or multiple amps.K.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser SET say Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Not worth the time and effort, IMHO... Not to mention the extra outlay of cash for Bi-Wires cables[] But there is one of us born every day and I run them on my BAT amp out to my 804's[:|] LOL Killer Clown, there is a difference in Bi-Wire and Bi-Amp as you do need two seperate wires for the latter and unless your amps are identical I would say you would have a difference in freq[8-|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Once the highs and lows have been separated in this fashion, the strong current pulses and surges that a woofer demands when reproducing bass or drums will not interact with the delicate sounds of a flute or cymbal. The magnetic field of the low frequency signals cannot modulate or interfere with the highs, and to a lesser extent, the reverse is true. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/121216/1222097.aspx#1222097 lost of posts on this subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer clown Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Kaiser,I am sorry I thought it was an understood.....two amps to one bi-wireable speaker to seperate highs and lows....or... one bi-amp capable amp such as the Denon AVR 5803 to bi=wireable speakers.K.C.

abris Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I use Monster M Series wiring, which separate high/low frequencies. In other words, a single cable with a pair of banana plugs to the receiver and a two-pair set (bi) into the RF-3s. To my ears, it the dynamics from high to low seem smoother with the mid really being brought to life. Or is it all just a placebo effect?

Thaddeus Smith Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 i enjoy the benefits of bi-wiring and neither spent a ton of cash doing it or harass those that disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Smith Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 sure ..there is a placebo effect to a whole lot of this stuff. and that's when i ask my wife, who is not emotionally attached or aware of what i have changed, in to listen and tell me if she hears anything different. sometimes she does, sometimes it's different than what i hear, and sometimes nothing at all. it's not scientific, but she's a good test for whether or not i'm simply hearing things.

Guest " " Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 It depends on your amp. If you have an amp with multilple tap outputs (most tube amps, and some SS amps), and you have any of the conditions explained on the attached pdf, you can bi-wire and run the leads for the HF and LF section to seperate taps.

BigCliff Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Bi-wire tried it no difference. But bi-amp that is a different story and would be obviously benificial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pite Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Very true! While I haven't seen the technical data to prove if it's worth, I wouldn't waste money that could be better put to a use for some other improvements in the room/amp etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxx Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Bi-wire tried it no difference. But bi-amp that is a different story and would be obviously benificial. I'm in the bi-amp camp also.... very pleased.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The difference is small, most of the people here cannot hear it (and ridicule people that can). So why don't those golden ears hear other things that are far far greater in magnitude? [^o)] There is no reason to bi-wire RF-52s....you'd be far better off upgrading the speakers.

djk Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 "So why don't those golden ears hear other things that are far far greater in magnitude?" What makes you assume they don't? Not everyone is sensitive to the same things either. My family could watch a VHS tape with its horrible low-res image and the horrible wow and flutter from the tape moving at less than 1" per second past the audio head, it bothers me.
