Topic: Bi-Wiring

[Mo®pHeOu$]

I wanted to know if there really was a difference in biwiring so I tried it in my speaker.  I used short wires as jumpers since I was just experimenting.  Stripped them wires and connected them to their respective terminals and then connected the wires that went to the receiver. 

It made a noticeable difference for my fronts.  Mas maganda yung sound produced.  Mas detailed yung lumalabas na sound.

Indeed you learn many new things from this community!

Now, I am happier with my speakers.

Correct learning will always be for the better.

There is not much to gain in bi-wiring (as to improve a system). There can be more to gain in having those bi-wires combined to service both LF and HF. This can be validated both mathematically and experimentally using tools to give you measurement.

The only probable change a bi-wiring can do - if different gauge of wires were used, thin for tweets and heavy for LF - is that a probable resistance was inserted between amp and tweets, resulting to lower HF output. This is if we assume that short cable runs from your amp to speaker really provide substantial resistance between your amp and HF/LF (this is debatable).

As usual, listening is relative (subjective). What could be better to somebody might not be better to another. Thus, even if bi-wiring 'SEEMS' to provide to someone who thinks it resulted to better sonic (his ears' reference), it may not at all be true to another.

Chances are, even that BETTER sonic may not be existent after all - we have short memory on sonics, which can hardly decipher/compare (which?) DETAILS.

To each his own talaga.

I don't have a expert ear when it comes to audio listening on details.  AFter a long time using HTib setup and then shifting to separates and tweaking them, I guess any audio difference will satisfy my ears.    Must be my ears playing tricks on me. hehehe. 

I guess it really depends on the listener.

mga paps consult ko lang kung tama ba yung speaker B terminals gamitin pang semi bi-amp?

Speaker B will only share power from A, so it's not Bi-amp, only Bi-wire if do that A & B switch to ON.. 

[squatt3r]

thanks thanks! will just use speaker A then change the el cheapo flat cord speaker wires.

Sir you gained difference in Bi-wiring, try Bi-amping even in passive mode.. I assure it to you you'll not look back...

Bi-wiring improved the sound of my Wharfedale Diamonds. I recommend it if your speakers have two pairs of terminals each

Dati naka bi-wire ako using 2 pairs of 12awg then nka set sa A+B yun amp. for me mas kumapal yun tunog,
after that pumutol ako ng 12awg at syang ginawang jumper, and boom, same sila ng tunog na parang naka bi-wire, jumper lang pala issue...

pwede din laruin, like yun HF using silver the LF using copper 10awg.
ok yan dahil mas magiging matalas o detail ang HF mo while mas kakapal ang LF mo.

If ur not adding an appropriate amp then biwiring wont do any good if the jumpers are as good or better than the speaker wires. Else, do it or use a better jumper wire.

[old_age]

there is an obvious improvement/change in sound in biwiring, whether you have trained ears or not.

I have a yamaha amp with several speaker output posts and a speaker that's capable of bi wire. Can i use 2 seperate outputs from the yamaha to bi wire the speakers? Speaker is 6ohms. Yamaha amp says minimum is 3ohms for b+c output. 🙂

I used to do that before Bi Wireable Speakers to Speakers A & B terminals of the amp. But for me it really doesnt make much of a difference in SQ but sometimes it adds fun & excitement when experimenting.

I hear a difference with bi wiring. Segregated power for both high and low, should scientifically, power the drivers more easily thereby reducing clipping? Parang led strip lights. The longer the strip lights, the more power injection is needed per number of leds.

Edit: unless your amp has enough power reservoir then it may be redumdant. Lol. Mga kwentong barbero lng naman with regards to audio. :p
