Bi-wiring - Your Opinion

hello all sifu out there....
what your opinion about biwire,there is statement in mags that say biwire made speaker more open,but can reduce cohesion...

There is no definite answer to your question. It can be an improvement, it can be not.

Theoritically, it should have improvement, but it vary from system to system.

Just give it a try and use your ear to judge.

Agree....there are differences but not necessarily an improvement.

Give it a try...mine works...now its biwired and biamped (via an active subwoofer).

But consider the amount of money invested and the return you `may' get...honestly, i doubt it will make much difference in entry level systems. Take into consideration the capabilities of your amp...preferably power amp.

If all your components are entry level, that the whole exercise may be a waste of money. Lets face facts...Nothing beats good quality components.

Entry level or otherwise if the speakers are biwireable then it should works.

Mine is only a RM 1500 pair and after I switch from the RM5/m Kadas to biwired Straightwire Rhapsody S tonal accuracy had been achieved.

my opinion;
biwire is always better.. but the question is how much? huge different or just a little bit... its depends on the speaker and speaker cable. better is better no matter how much isnt it??
another thing is.. is it worth or not?
my 602 S3 is biwired and i can hear the different.

Bi-wiring may not always be better. In certain cases, the doubling of capacitance may have a detrimental effect. Your mileage may vary.

my opinion is base on my experience (i tried on MS912 before)... maybe u guys have a different result.. but again it just my opinion only... not a matter right or wrong

This is my own experience

Bi-wiring give improvement when the amplifier is not a high current type. By-wiring basically halves the impedance between amplifier and speaker. When the route impedance is halved its easier to drive the same speaker thus you will hear some sound that you didn't hear before. The bass beat will be more pronounced and the tweeter sound will be better. However, sometimes with certain amp or speaker the sound will become sharper and will introduce listening fatigue. The significant improvement is usually realised at a high cost of bi-wiring not with a budget cable. I think its better to save that money and buy a better amplifier or go for bi-amping.

it depends on type of speakers & amps
sometimes its even better to play around with internals such as internal wires & crossovers
or.. diff dacs!!

better not bi-wire unless u use the same pair of cables

if not, it will confuse you

to me a single "Good" spk cable sounds better than bi-wire.

heared QED SAXT biwire and QED SAXT with Dyniaaudio speaker as a reference at CMY, feel like the sound imaging is more upfront compare to single QED SAXT ....

but the price for QED SAXT biwire = RM930.00 for 15 feet ..
though...

Hi eveyone,

Bi-wiring is always an interesting, if contentous topic. Many people have obtained good results but there are also some who did not get any gains. Nevertheless, I always feel one should try it out to see the result. Perhaps you can get some cheapo type speaker cables and compare single to bi-wire and see if you can hear the difference. If you can hear the difference even with cheapo cables, then you can consider if it's worth spending the extra to bi-wire using your preferred cable.

Anyway, the main purpose of my post is to inform everyone that there have been an unfortunate attempt to tangent off this discussion. So I deleted those posts that does not belong here. Please do go ahead and continue to debate/discuss the topic at hand but it would be nice if we can stick to the topic. Apologies for the interference.
