RE: Big-wiring and Cambridge Audio CXN network streamer

"Biwiring? Arguable to minimal. Biamping? That's a big HELL YA."

Agreed, that is what separable crossovers are for. The idea is to eliminate IM distortion. That is pretty low in modern amps, but you also may want to use a class D woofer amp and a tube tweeter amp, if you can set it up right. Most lower power tube amps don't do really well on low bass, but in other ranges they have qualities that some seem to like.

But just doubling the number of wires from one amp to speaker will gain pretty much nothing.
