Hagood Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Ok, so I'm a rookie. I've been reading all of the posts about bi-wiring, but how do you do it ?? Would the Synergy System 6 speakers benifit from it, or is it mostly for the bigger speakers ? I appreciate all of you guy's help and patience with allot of stupid questions from a rookie.

Mighty Favog Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Calm down lil' Grasshopper. First off, to bi-wire a pair of speakers you have to look at the connections on the back of the speaker itself. If there are only two connecting posts there, then bi-wiring isn't gonna do you much good. But, if there are four posts on the back of each speaker then it's possible. At the amplifier (or reciever or integrated amp) of the chain where there are the connecting posts. From this single pair of posts (not two pair!) you connect two pair of speaker cable to these posts. Two negative ends of two cables and two positive. At the speaker end, one of the speaker cables (+ and - end on the same cable) gets connected to one set of posts on the speaker (let's say the top pair of + and -). Then the other cable connects in same fashion to the bottom pair. If your familiar with some other electrical terminology it could be called "in parallel". When you do this your bypassing part of the crossover network that is internal of the speaker. Two different cables supplying an independant set of driver(s). Monster Cable claims to have cables that are specialized for a certain frequency range, I haven't seen them yet though. ------------------ Tom KLF-20 Mahogany (Cornell Hotwired) McIntosh C33 Preamp McIntosh MVP-841 CD/DVD Rotel RB-1080 Amp Yamaha PF-800 Turntable/ Sure V15 Type V Cartridge Ortofon VMS-30 mkII Cartridge Stanton 999SS Cartridge Yamaha K-1020 Cassette dbx 1231 EQ H.H.
