My dealer ...

...had his 3.6s set up that way, so I ordered my AQ cables in a bi-wire configuration. I started that way - a pair of spades on the amp end and two sets of bananas on the other, with each set having wire of a different geometry. It did eliminate a set of jumpers. When I ordered my 3.7s, the cables had to change - a change which occurred prior to my receipt of the 3.7s. There was a surprisingly discernible difference (that it was discernible was a surprise ;-), with my preference being for what had been familiar (but was 'familiarity' the actual cause of that preference?).

The 3.7s don't support bi-wiring, but it doesn't matter - I'd bet that the reduction in complexity more than offsets that loss. Mine are actually a wee bit simpler than stock, with the 'final adjustment' yet to be ordered (don't know why I'm procrastinating - just my nature).



I did do something crazy - my MMGs are bedroom speakers again. I thought of a way to make things fit - and it works. It had been a year since I did a thorough cleaning (meaning everything gets moved), so I figured I'd rearrange. It's a very nearfield arrangement, but they're a full 3' off the front wall - symmetry of reflection is not very good, but I don't think that's too big of a deal for such a nearfield setup. Sitting about 2' closer to the screen also made a profound improvement in legibility - damn aging (never needed glasses until a couple of years ago - and still don't need (a euphemism for 'wear') them).
