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 measurable
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.


I can't convince myself that this may (or may not) make a
difference, but one point is that while both wires see the same
voltage, the cable to the treble posts are only carrying the
current produced by the treble part of the signal.


However, since copper wire is highly linear, there are few if any
consequences - nothing audible as long as either cable is itself a
competent piece of work.


Agreed, however if there are any problems with poor or dirty
connectors then maybe this could make a difference.


Agreed, but since we're talking about avoidable mistakes, more likely would
be an undesirable polarity switch of one of the two cables.
