GlennG Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Can someone please explain to me exactly what Bi-Wiring is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoker Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Basically it's running two sets of wires from one source (receiver) to the speakers. The speakers will have two sets on connections. It reinforces the connection so there is less chance of a weak signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meuge Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 This is what biwiring is: If you're familiar with electrical circuits at all, you'll realize that this configuration will not result in any perceptible sonic benefits unless you're using a really light gauge wire over a long run. If you're running 12 or even 14 gauge copper wire, biwiring should provide no improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbflash Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 meuge nice picture. also remove the bridging strap on your speakers. benefits are left to the ears of the bi-wirer and how much they spent on wire. i biwire my speakers that can be bi-wired because i had the extra wire. i have had them biwired for so long now that i'm use to how they sound. when i first did it i was new to this and i knew i could tell a difference. if you have the wire try it. i would not go out and buy cable made just for biwiring. danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Why make something simple hard? Use the 12 gauge wire and forget about by-wiring. If you can only obtain 24 gauge wire then by all means by-wire. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-MAN Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I run biwire, commercial stuff, and yeah, it cost too much. But it sounds BETTER than my old 12 gauge stuff. So there you go, both sides of the debate. Best bet, check out someone's rig with biwiring against yours single run of cable by A/B'ing the two. That way the sound will be "new" to your ears in either case and therefore you will not be unduly influenced in your assessment. DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
