Images: Original Version AudioQuest Crystal (not the plus version)

According to the cross section diagram as shown above, the original AudioQuest Crystal speaker cable features 12 conductors: 6 black, 3 gray, and 3 white.

The Crystal + version features three different conductor sizes rather than the original version which only has two (see link to the Crystal + version cross section below). Terminating the Crystal + version as a bi-wire cable is a symmetrical configuration that's easier to figure out, in that there's one of each size conductor for each pole. Just how the asymmetrical groups of three of the original version are supposed to be configured as a bi-wire cable is ponderous, unless the wiring scheme is asymmetrical, with additional conductors for the low-frequency section perhaps.
