What's wrong

Still waiting for your explanation of what bi-wiring is supposed to accomplish.
Theoretically at least, I already know what it accomplishes in reality.

Just do a f*cking search on any of these audio forum sites. It's one subject that has definitely been discussed ad nauseum.

You've got over 2900 posts. I know you didn't just fall off a turnip truck.

My challenge to you is to explain bi-wiring because you keep saying 'that isn't what it is supposed to do'. If you actually knew anything about it you would be able to explain it in a few sentences - but you can't, so you deflect the question by saying 'go search'.

You're a real class act!

It's Only Money....

There is no difference between using a jumper bar on the speakers and connecting the two wires of a bi-wired scheme to the same terminal on the back of the amp. It is still a parallel electrical connection between the high and low drivers/crossovers.

I've heard the argument that using two wires will decrease the total wire impedance and electrical losses through the cable. But I challenge anybody to open up their amp and look at the wire connected to the inside of the speaker terminal. That internal wire is the weakest link. There is no gain by running one cable of a larger gauge or running two cables for a parallel load compared to that internal wire.

As was stated before, bi-amping is another story. Now the driver loads are divided between two amplifiers.

BTW- two 8 ohm parallel loads will give you a 4 ohm total load. Two 8 ohm loads in series will give you a 16 ohm load.

Now everybody start playing nice

uhhhm...what about the hum part? I'm trying to learn something here. And as far as this a/b stuff is being debated, my take is to just use the amp section of whatever product it is that's being used as it was intended to be used. Simple L/R out to L/R in concerning each spkr. Or buy mono amps...a whole stack of them. Jeez!

Take the internal x-over out and use a high end external, that is the only way I see bi-wiring posing any advantage. Actually that really isn't biwiring either is it. Only one set of wires going into the x-over.

I think the answer to the hum problem was in the first reply to the OP in this thoroughly hijacked thread. . .
