collin_n4 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I have a question about bi wiring my front speakers. I have the F-3s and I think I want to bi wire them. I've looked at different places on the internet and it seems like a good idea. My question however is how I should go about it. The web sites say to hook both wires to the same post on my receiver. I was wondering if there would be any added benefit if I, for instance, attached the tweeter cables to the "A" speaker set terminal and the woofer cables to the "B" speaker set. There was someone that told me that in doing this, it would furthermore separate the signals allowing for better, fuller sound. I see no benefit but was still curious. I would appreciate it if anyone out there that knows for sure could please let me know. Thank you.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Your best bet is to try it for yourself....... Welcome to the Klipsch Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collin_n4 Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 I planned on trying it out and seeing if I could hear any difference, but thank you for responding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I never noticed any difference when I tried it. Now, bi-amping is a completely different story- I heartily recommend that, but it's a much more complicated proposition. Still, try bi-wiring for yourself, just so you know for yourself.

PrestonTom Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 With either configuration, it is dubious that bi-wiring will alter the sound. Why not spend the time & energy in moving your speakers & chair around to find the perfect spot. With that done, spend some effort on learning about room acoustics. My two suggestions are will provide real gains for improving the sound. Good Luck, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 In theory it should work but in reality its like .0000001 difference. Everything looks better when you narrow the range. Take for example the THD that companies post, do you really think you can hear the difference between a reciever or amp with THD of 0.04% and 0.03%? But some salespeople and consumers believe the hype and buy the lower one even if the other is better or cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FierceTimbo Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I have the same towers (F-3's) and I did bi-wire them and personally i believe i can tell a difference. To me it sounds a little bit clearer and richer but then again that could just be me thinking that. Its not hard so just try it out for yourself and see what you think.

kingnothing Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hi Collin, I tried messing around feading my tweeters from the A and woofers from the B but did'nt notice any difference. I then bought a beat up Adcom 555 amp off of ebay for $250 to feed my woofers and I'm now in heaven. If you do decide to invest in an amp, make sure your receiver has the outs needed to plug into the amp. Best of luck, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
