I have a Roksan Kandy amp and Quad 11L speakers. Both of them
recommend biwiring - why if you say its rubbish. Why is it rubbish.

As far as I know, neither company produces speaker cable so why
bother if they don't gain?

Not suggesting your wrong but the logic does seem to be 'logical'!

This should sort the logic aspect:

Highstreet retailers sell speaker cables, its VERY profitable.

High street retailers like it when companies recommend bi-wiring as a
result

Therefore they buy and recommend people to buy gear that requires
bi-wiring.

Thus if Quad didnt recommend it, they would lose out as high street
sellers wouldnt recommend their gear.

since bi-wiring wont Decrease sound quality, why NOT recommend it?

John Dunlavy mentioned this exact situation. His retailers were used to
pushing expensive speaker cables. Speaker cables branded by the speaker
manufacturer is probably the ultimate in cross-marketing. So, he conjured up
some cables that as you suggest, did no harm. He made zero claims for
audibility, but did mention their electrical properties, which were really
pretty good.
