In Reply to: RE: Interesting way to wire speakers…??? posted by stevethe4th on May 12, 2015 at 16:41:06
First I single wired w/factory jumpers. Then changed the jumpers to the same as the speaker cable (4TC) Totally sucked. Went back to 30 year old jumpers, Better, then bi-wire, the best sound of them all and did it first with Speltz and now DIY 14ga copper foil.
After bi-wiring I reconnected my older CJ amp in a passive bi-amp with the same gain, sensitivity and input Z as my newer CJ amp and that gave me another forward leap.

Thanks for your input,
So you are saying that overall BI-WIRING made the largest difference followed by passive bi-amp, followed by changing the brand of cabling correct?
What's interesting to me is that I am not 100% sure why the picture is different than BI-WIRING...??
In theory bi-wiring takes one lead and splits into 2 leads. The current delivered is the same amount right?
bi-wiring for me with my gear made the most difference yes. I did prefer the HF with the DIY copper foil speaker wire over the Speltz but the LF was all but the same. Bi-amping also took it up another level.
I have felt bi-wiring helped for a few reasons one being there is only one impedance load (in my two way system) per wire compared to two (or more) within one wire w/o bi-wiring. And no the current is not delivered in the same amount. The current delivered (required) per bi-wire lead is based on what load it is driving. My LF section takes 2X or more the power of my HF section. This is why I use 250/ch on the LF and 120/ch for HF.
Good luck!
