Single or Bi-Wire?

[Tuddy]

The Rotel 1095 should arrive this week and I will set up
the B&W 804S's.

On Saturday the dealer told me there is no need to bi-wire
due to the design of the speakers and the jumpers I am to use

The B&W manual states to Bi-Wire "at minimum", and at many
formus and professional reviews I have read the same

Did the dealer tell me this b/c the jumpers result in bi-wiring?

The dealer also claims spades is better than bare wire & bananas,
do you agree?

Dealer is pushing MIT cable on me.

Appreciate your thoughts

Biwiring does nothing, the shop is correct. No I don't agree that spades are better, as there is essentially no audible difference between the two. From a connection standpoint there may be a small plus for spades, but I use locking bananas.

For speaker wire MIT is unnecessary. Check out www.bluejeanscable.com

There was a thread up in General about this, the links I provided there are good reading!

Ask him for hard evidence why MIT is better, audibly, than 14ga monoprice wire.
Another forum AVS, had a gent start a DBT with his $35k wire and a Monster since Randi offered $1mil to some reviewer if he could differentiate a Pear cable$7500 and Monster, and this gent thought he'd practice. Needless to say, he stopped in the middle as he, the golden ear, could not differentiate.
Many have tried over the past 30+ years, none have succeeded when the cables are comparably gauged.
So, the short of it, spend you money on other things than expensive cables.
