Default Biwiring

Hi - I've just bought some speakers, JMLab Chorus 715, marvellous. Anyway,
something in the setup instructions intrigued me - bi-wiring "reduces or
eliminates any problem caused by the bass drivers feeding any signal back to
the amplifier. This signal intermodulates and spoils the sound quality of
the midrange and treble". Er, what?!

I don't bother with biwiring as a rule, but should this cause a rethink?

Indeed. It's too bad that someone garbaged-up some really pretty good
speakers with pseudo-scientific instructions.

No, it should just cause a moment of silence for the poor wretch who wrote
the instructions.

Well, of course, using seperate feeds from seperate amps can eliminate the possibility of a ****ty amp with high impedance outputs or an inadequate PSU which fouls up the bass fouling up the treble...

Of course, if you dont have a ****ty amp, then its bull**** ;-)

If the bass/mid range was fouled up through use of a poor amp, I doubt
clean treble would be much help.

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'!
