In Reply to: RE: No, there is science behind bi-wiring posted by genungo on July 24, 2015 at 07:27:14
When was this article written? The first paragraph is technically incorrect and inaccurate by today's standard as each channel is a dedicated channel, not a derivative of left and right channels and its full bandwidth.
"You might want to try bi-wiring, but it helps to use something better than just zip cord, no matter what the gauge.
If you are running 10-12 foot lengths, a decent single wire set of speaker cables will run around $140 or so, so
double that for bi-wiring the two front mains. I would not worry about bi-wiring the center speaker, or using
anything but 12 gauge zip for the surrounds, as the suround signal is processed through a cheap digital delay
as well as derived from signals buried in the main signal, and hence is not that clean or wide bandwidth. "
Follow Ups:
The 1st page, 1st paragraph was written about 16 years ago, and back then, the HT receivers were using derived analog signals for the rear channels.
Now, with all digital and discrete channels, things are theoretically better, although I have to say, most modern DVD's don't sound a whole lot better sonically than they used to, despite the technology.
I should re-write that paragraph, but I pointed to some existing pages, that were "ghosted" from the old Geocites web sites, and I do not have access to those pages to edit them. They were however, convenient to point to without sending some one to the Wayback Machine (internet Archives)
