Klipsch RF7

I just buy the RF7 series of Klipsch. It is realy a big difference to connect it bi-wire then standard?

I you want a real defference BI-AMP it.

Other wise there is a difference but not easily discernable.

I do biwire when I can. The difference is subtle most of the time. If your speakers terminals are connected by shorting strips, you can get almost as much improvement as bi-wiring by replacing the strips with 5" peices of speaker cable.

Hi
If you have a reasonable amount of power to drive the RF-7 even Bi-Amping
will make no huge gains in performance because the RF-7 are very efficient
102 dB they require little power to achieve high SPL and I doubt you would even be able to clip a 50 watt amp before your ears gave out

Rf-7

No, not a BIG difference. It took me hours of listening to come
to the conclusion that it has somewhat a wider sound with
Bi-wire, than with ordinary lamp cord. The lamp cord had
a somewhat narrow-er sound and more forward.

It was so very slight, so min. marginal that it isn't worth how
much the cables cost me. There is so much controversy right
now that bi-wire is a scam. I did hear ever so slight margin
difference that just isn't worth the cost. Just go with a nice
quality speaker cable and you will be fine without the bi-wire.
I have four Klipsch RF-7's and really like them very much.
Enjoy!

Rob why would you get an improvement using 5" speaker wire as opposed to original jumpers? It most likelyhood the DC resistance of the cable is higher (still negligible) than the jumpers themselve. Unless the jumpers are corroded or not making good contact with the binding posts, whats the point?

Biwiring is another topic I will not expand upon in detail here, but biwirers beware. If you are using a high capacitance cable to begin with and decide to use two runs of it, you just doubled your pair to pair capacitance. If you choose a decent cable to begin with (low DC resistance, inductance, and reasonably low capacitance) there is little reason to biwire as well.
