I ain't no engineer, I just stayed in one of them fancy hotels...

I experimented with 30 gauge RS kynar in a bi-wire situation.

I have NO idea what possible effects this might have on any particular amp or other equipment, including my own for that matter...

After a few comparisons with different configurations I settled on a single run back from the tweeters, left everything going to the woofers and the positive connections to the tweeters CAT 5:

Effect? I thought it sounded really, really beautiful, but then I noticed it also made my tweeters somewhat brittle under demanding conditions. I didn't know what that was about... so the kynar came off.

My tastes run decidedly toward laid back, and thin wire definitely delivered by toning down the fatiquing factors and making the whole effect very sweet and fluid. As expected there was also a cost, in dynamics, punch and forward detail.

Trade-offs are hell...
