Not when there is another factor

Posted by Jon Risch on August 14, 2003 at 10:31:13:
That other factor is motor/generator action within a cable, and the related problem of the cable being vibrated by the sound output from the speakers.
The current through the two bi-wire sections is different, and so the cable carrying the HF current will not get motor/generator modulated by the LF currents.
Current flow in the two bi-wire cables in a simple 2nd order crossover is shown at:

The other factor that I think bi-wiring addresses, is that of woofer to tweeter isolation, and I go through this aspect at this page:

and the following one.
