I second Jeff's opinion of the Q10's improvement over the T14, especially in the bass department.My Quad 22L's were internally biwired with Q10. Now, I have them externally biwired, with the T14 going to HF and Q10 going to LF. Doing this opened up the soundstage of my Quads by a good margin. My Quads 22L's do like being biwired, although I cannot say this of all speakers I have heared.

What jumpers were you using when you were not biwiring? Were they the stock jumpers?
"When internal biwiring my Quad 22L's, I used "T14" cable as jumpers (i.e., cable cut from the 14awg pair of the Q10). "I meant, "when NOT biwiring my Quad 22L's..."

When internal biwiring my Quad 22L's, I used "T14" cable as jumpers (i.e., cable cut from the 14awg pair of the Q10).Later when I tried external biwiring with the full Q10 going to LF and new set of T14 going to HF, I noticed an immediate enlargement of the soundstage. I have to say, though, that the sound was a bit disjointed at first. But I decided to stick with it and let the T14's break in. After a couple of months or so the sound became smooth and itegrated and that's what I have in my current setup.
On the subject of biwiring, I have to agree that it does not work well for all speakers.
