Bi-wiring is marketing to sell more speaker cables.

The reason it "works" is because the LCR parameters are changed relative to a single cable run. R would be halved, L and C modified depending upon cable lay, etc.

If you were to substitute a single cable run with the same lumped parameters as a bi-wired pair there would be (most likely) no audible difference.

A single run of speaker cable "A" compared with a bi-wire run of speaker cable "B" is an apples/oranges comparison with limited conclusivness. Even a single run of cable "A" compared to a bi-wire run of cable "A" is apples/oranges, but with some of the variables zeroed out.

When you browse forums, you will not find an audio topic nowadays with more speculation than speaker cables. :)

Cheers,

Dave.
