I think if folks had a grasp of what jneutron and occaisonally myself are talking about one might think twice before locking this thread.
d.b.
This is yet further reason to lock it down. If a topic pertains only to a geeky few, than it doesn't belong in Audio Central...it belongs in The Lab; where you technophiles can dither, romp and play..
That would be a mistake on your part.
An example.
I have designed, built, and operated fixed and mobile disco systems since 1978...single amp passive crossover to 300 watts, and multi amp multi kilowatt systems with front end active crossovers. In all those decades, I have never considered biwiring as being of any merit or use. A wire is a wire, and what is important is damping factor and total power loss.
Never has any "geek", engineer, researcher, anybody, ever said they heard a difference as a result of biwiring. They never look. They don't care. And, it has never been within my experience base that it does.
My "geek base" provided me historical equations which concur with that assumption, that a wire is a wire.
End result? A "technical" forum will never question the possibility that our assumption about biwiring is incorrect. In point of fact, it is the non tech types who have provided anecdotal information to that end.
Alas, it is easy to mathematically prove that biwiring does indeed have an effect of significance.
Would I have come to this understanding within an environment which has only technical members?...NO.
Would the issue have been visited? NO. Why? If it ain't broken, nobody will try to fix it.
It requires two hands to clap. It also requires more work.
So, to most in Audio Central, this topic is 'over our limited understanding'
and, to a rare few, it's remarkably technical twaddle and dither
Do not feel it is your responsibility to protect others from exposure to technical information. Than can easily be construed as censure.
Of course, this does apply to both sides. The tech oriented people should make a good effort to talk "english", and not "down".
Personally, I have little interest in speaking only to technically oriented people. That leaves out the vast majority of the human race. (not to mention it'd be dull as all getout).
