Hi all,
Today I was watching a review of the Q Acoustics Concept 20 by a home theatre enthusiast, and during part of the video he demonstrated how he wires up speakers that have 2 pairs of speaker binding posts using only a single run of cable. He kept the bridges between the posts in place, but rather than putting the positive and negative cables into either the lower pair or the upper pair, he inserted the negative into the lower negative terminal (LF) and the positive into the positive terminal of the HF or upper pair. I've never seen this done before, as I always used the bridges or speaker wire and attached the cables from the amp to the LF or lower pair. I've not tried this for myself yet (will do later this week when I have time), but am wondering if anyone else does this or knows anything about it? I ask because both pairs of speakers I currently use are "bi-wireable". My experience of bi-wiring is mixed: it sounded "different", but not necessarily better, as least not to me. That aside, I'm wondering what this dude is on about. Is he on to something or not? Proof is in the pudding, of course, but for now, opinions are welcome.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
