Imagine you and your neighbor are connected at the end of many miles of one power line. Now your neighbor turns on every appliance in his house. Your lights dim, right? Now imagine the power company ran separate wires from the plant to your house and the neighbor's house. Your neighbor turns on all the appliances...what happens? The lights to not correspondingly dim. Why? His line losses do not affect your voltages! One can argue that there are other frequency and EMF dependent factors involved, but this metaphore describes what I feel to be the most significant.And, no the crossovers in a speaker set up to handle bi-wire are independent...thus the connection is made *outside* your speaker from binding post to binding post.
