Re: How does bi-wiring work?

Posted by mbarnes on December 26, 2000 at 21:51:29:
Stereophile did some tests a few years ago and burried in the article
was the fact that they didn't see the benifit of biwire. It would be too difficult for me to look this up. I wrote to the John Mruphy who wrote the Winspeak simulation program. He wrote back that he saw no benifit in bi-wiring.
I have measured speakers with and without using the LMS and Clio systems. These systems can detect any variation in the signal (I know that audiophiles think that the ear is more sensitive that insturments). If there is a difference, it should be measurable.
By the nature of the single connection point, the woofer and tweeter are certainly part of the same circuit. The only way to seperate the signals is to have seperate source and destination.
As I said earlier, most crossovers have more cicuitry than and high pass and low pass filter.
