For some of the science behind bi-wiring, see the following links:
WARNING: THE ORIGINAL GEOCITES SITE NO LONGER EXISTS, THESE ARE LINKS TO A GHOST SITE, THAT ALSO HAS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PAGES FOR THE UNWARY, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU CLICK ON!
If you stick with the links as shown, and those pages that are logical extensions of the page you are already on, it should be OK
http://www.geocities.ws/jonrisch/biwiring.htm
http://www.geocities.ws/jonrisch/biwiring2.htm
http://www.geocities.ws/jonrisch/biwiring3.htm
and a portion of my AES paper on a new test tone that was also used on cables:
http://www.geocities.ws/jonrisch/page7.htm
this page has links that take you to pages 8, 9, and 11.
The first link above has a text description of what bi-wiring is, and how it works.
The second link goes into further depth on the how, and has wiring diagrams and charts of inter-driver attenuation that show just ONE of the benefits of bi-wiring vs. single wiring.
The third link shows response graphs of what happens when the woofer drives sound into the tweeter, and vice versa, as well as when other speakers in the room cause a signal to be developed across the terminals of a speaker in a speaker system under examination.
The page 7 and following page's links show IM distortion being reduced via the use of bi-wiring, as well as provide graphs showing the division of current flow in a bi-wire situation as discussed in the first link.
One note: my e-mail is not at strato.net anymore, it is:

This link:

is the one concerning jumpers at the speaker with bi-wired cables.
