Well, thanks for all the opinions. I can't really argue with the technical
knowledge you all have, and I looked at Jim Lesurf's (I think) page a while
back and that seemed to say 'no measureable difference'. I've given it a go
with some old qed 79 strand biwire stuff I happen to have, and I'm afraid I
think it sounds a bit better, particularly extremes - bass and treble.


Interesting, since it's only around the crossover that biwiring has
even the slightest theoretical advantage.

There
could be other variables - the cable itself, or the fact that I cleaned
everything while I was at it. Being gullible isn't too bad if it doesn't
cost anything! You may note that some of Focus-JMLabs' really expensive
speakers (well, £5k) don't have biwire facility. Wonder why?


So do Thiel, Dynaudio and Wilson. ATC only do biwiring terminals for
marketing reasons - and are quite vocal about it!
