If you draw a little schematic circuit diagram you'll see that the bi-wired configuration is identical to the single-wired if the wires are ideal, but if you replace them with (very small) resistors to model the fact that they aren't perfect, there is a slight difference between the two configurations. But bear in mind that the posts on the speaker are in direct electrical contact either way - either they are connected by the jumpers (single-wired) or by a path that runs down one pair of bi-wired speaker cables, into the amp post, and back down the other pair. So if the wires and jumpers were all ideal, there would be *no* difference whatsoever, and therefore the differences can not be larger than the difference between a speaker wire or jumper and a perfect conductor (which means small!). -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34163 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
