<> Well, I agree wholeheartedly with the first sentence, but the second adds to much to the
situation we are dealing with here. I have been saying, that what we may be dealing with here is the locus of a minor gestalt shift. Bi-wiring does certain things really well -- *separating* out the elements of the frequencies, adding a sense of air and spaciousness -- and this indeed may be what people are thus so happy with. BUT, and this is important, as long as people are focused on these aspects, they of course are going to prefer bi-wiring, even saying it is *better*. The only way one can appreciate single-wiring is to do a gestalt shift, and listen for coherence and pacing cues, rather than spaciousness and frequency separation. With single-wiring, the soundstage WILL shrink, the sense of air will shrink too, as will the sense of bass power, but that is because the elements have been pulled together. Better is NOT the right word here, since we are dealing with two entirely different gestalts. Unless, and this is what you would have to say, that in terms of what I think single-wiring does (pacing, coherence, tightness, bringing together the elements) bi-wiring in fact does that better than single-wiring.
The only way to adhudge between bi and single wiring is to realize that the one is affording things the other cannot, and that one is not making a decision between totalized better and worses, but between which apsects or presentations of the musical event one wants to dwell upon.
