DwK Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Will it help my Fishers? My fishers arnt that great, so they can use all the help they can get, will Bi Wiring help? Plus, Bi wiring the Heresys, would that help them a good deal? ------------------ Living Room: Yamaha Natural Sound A-500 Stereo Amplifier 2 Klipsch Heresys on A switch 2 Fisher STV-873 on B switch My Room: Klipsch Pro Medias 2 Fisher Surrounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 dw, to biwire, the speakers really have to be biwirable. that is, they have the seperate terminals on the back each connected to the respective high & low drivers. i.e. most of the reference & the legend towers do have, but none of the heritage do. ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics direct drive turntable Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

maxg Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 I have done it with Heresy 2's using Synergistic silver speaker cable. There is a difference but it is not huge. My guess is that the difference comes from dropping the impedance from 8 to 4 ohms. Using both A&B speaker connections I think I am raising the power from 90 wpc to 130 wpc on my Accuphase E211. The result seems to me to be slightly better staging and more clearly defined bass - maybe slightly better driven woofer. I stuck with it on the basis that more bass on a heresy is never a bad thing.

boa12 Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 yes max, sounds like my biwiring of the rf-3 & klf-30 results are similar to yours. are the heresy II biwirable from klipsch or did u do your own biwiring or are they maybe that way only in Europe? if they are biwirable from klipsch, strike that none of the heritage statement i made above dwk. though i think u do have the older heresy I(?) learn something everyday ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics direct drive turntable Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

DwK Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 My Heresys, are NOT biwireable. We have the olderones.

boa12 Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 yes dwk. i don't see anything on any heresy II that says they come biwirable. guess we have to actually look at the back of 'em or find out from knowledgable owners like max ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front), KLF C-7, Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Monsterbass 400 sub interconnects & Monster CX-2 biwire & Z-12 cable Marantz SR-8000 receiver Sony DVP-C650D cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Technics dual cassette deck Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 digital cable box Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3 (front), RC-3, cheap little Technics (rear) Monster MCX Biwires Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics direct drive turntable Sega Genesis game player Sub: None yet rock on!

maxg Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Oh guys don't call me knowledgable for heavens sakes. No, the Heresy (2's) are not biwirable - there is only one set of binding posts, however... If you cable in one set using the bare wire screwed in and the other via banana plugs then you have connected A & B speaker outs to the speakers. This is not true biwiring obviously but it does reduce the impedance, increase the watts, increase the amount of cable, and affect the sound. We did a simple blind test with a friend switching the speaker A or B on or off and me saying whether we had one of both connected. Surprisingly to me I was right 100% of the time. It does make a difference. Hope this clarifies things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
