I did not say anything about your experience, did I? I stated that all the reasons offered for "why" in the post I was responding to are unproven.

"The "why" for biwiring is by having the bass and the mid/treble signals run through separate cables, the higher current of the bass will not modulate the lower current mid/treble signal."
Unproven and unlikely. Since they come from the same output stage, all biwiring is doing is moving the shunt across the speaker terminals back to the amp terminals.

"Also, with the two pairs of connectors on biwirable speakers, the crossover inside the speaker can be more easily optimized to take advantage of the arrangement and thus provide a more open, transparent sound."
Unproven and undemonstrated. How does biwiring result in the optimization of the crossover? In order to accommodate biwiring, some crossover topologies, like series filters, are precluded.
