In Reply to: Re: HD 14 question again. Is it better to have 2 wires going to + & 1 wire to - or vice versa ? posted by Dave Pogue on April 4, 2007 at 15:04:15:
Just curious.
BTW, I just got the OK (from wife)to build/buy an open shelf unit which will make it soooo much easier to deal with equipment issues.
Life has lots of trials and lots of music to help us through them.

Don't work.Just go to the scot's guide, he's bashed that topic but goooooood...
Course, he uses strawman arguments in the first page, then defies the first law of thermodynamics in the second..But hey, I really believed him..
My current speakers (Gallo Reference 3s) don't allow for biwiring, although there's a second pair of inputs feeding the woofers' second voice coils. Here's where I'm coming from. In the late 90s I was running ProAc Response 3s that did allow biwiring, and I was using biwired Kimber 8TCs on them. I decided to experiment with Mapleshade speaker cables (Double Golden Helix) and assumed I would biwire with them. In discussing this with Mapleshade, Pierre Sprey talked me out of it, said that single-wiring + jumpers would sound better (thus cutting his own sales/profits in half, so I figured he was being honest). He was right: the single-wired Mapleshades just slayed the 8TCs. I briefly tried biwiring with my subsequent speakers, Gallo Ultimates and, again, single wiring sounded clearer and more open. Thus, my suggestion.Glad you were able to go to an open-shelf setup. Much easier to deal with equipment (and wire) changes. Dave
I'm familiar with Mapleshade and Pierre's stance on bi-wiring. Maybe I'll give it a try after i get my stand built. Hopefully by next weekend. I could do it this weekend except for the finish.
Right now I have the cables prepared, but couldn't get them installed yesterday because of the need for 3 hands. I may install some bananas on the amp ends which will make it much simpler.
Thanks for your help
