And are you biwiring?

Just curious.

Thanks.

I use Ridge Street Audio Poeima's and their jumpers, but If I were starting from scratch, I'd probably go with Greg Straley Reality Cables/jumpers.

Gregg Straley cables with Argent Audio Pursang jumpers.

Marbles and George,

Is there a reason why you aren't bi-wiring?

Yes, it didn't improve the sound.

Well, I am both surprised and not surprised. I have been skepitcal of biwiring, yet I continue to read about how better sound is obtained though biwiring.

Maybe now I can afford to buy a DAC

I have always bi wired! I tried it once to test and there is a subtle difference. I dont think its significant, but if your buying new cables anyway why not.

I'm also using Gregg Straley speaker cables (a 50ft run!). I don't biwire because I can't afford another McCormack DNA 500 amp. I also don't think I need any more power and I think more power is the only reason to biwire.

Joe, you're confusing bi-amping and biwiring.

Can anyone explain to me the theoretical basis for bi-wiring? I tried it a couple of times, with no audible improvement. But I really didn't know why I should even expect to hear a difference.

woody · « **Reply #19 on:** 28 Feb 2006, 04:43 pm »

Dennis,

From your reply, I gather that HT3's crossover was not designed for biwiring. Is this true?

Thanks for your participation in AudioCircle.
