I think personally it did not help me, but you are going to have to do it for yourself to see if it improves your setup. Reason being everyone here has different home theater setups, therefore you are going to have different results.

I tried it with some B&W 601 S2 speakers because everything I read said it was a dramatic improvement. If it made a difference, it was so slight that I could not really be sure. It was far less of a difference than the change I could get from varying the toe in of the speaker, for example.

I went ahead and bi-wired my RF-7's just because I could and because I had a whole bunch of speaker wire left over. Whether it made a difference or not I don't know. I figure it can't hurt it since it really is no different then using a larger gauge of speaker wire. Plus, I would think it would be better then using the Monster wire they use to connect the posts. Again, whether it made a difference, I highly doubt it made that much of one.

Giving credit to both sides of the "argument" try this. If you are using say 12ga. Monster Cable as a single run, try running two runs (bi-wire) of that same type of cable.

When I upgraded from Monster to MIT I was running a single run of the MOnster but bought the MIT's in bi-wire. Being an upgrade just in puchasing the MIT, I think there was/is an improvement in both the quality of the wire AND way it is connected.
