I would not specifically recommend it unless the user had a very high
current amplifier and a demanding set of speakers that was designed to
be bi-amplified or bi-wired AND was not yet bi-amplifying. It makes
bi-amplifying a snap as the cables are already there and it eliminates
the brass jumpers for a better connection (electrically balanced) to
each section of the crossover at a very low cost.
I never even suggested anything expensive. That was all your idea.

Great response and absolutely true in most respects. It is still
your
opinion that differs from the authors here as neither of you have

evidence as we have all heard enough evidence to gag a maggot. One
thing that I think everyone agrres on is that it does lower the
resistance figures by nearly half. That may or may not be
significant
depending upon the associated equipment and of course the hearing
ability of the listener. In general, I don't recommend its use
either.


Not "in general"? What about, specifically?


In fine, one cannot discount psychological factors. If the typical
naive
audiophile feels some satisfaction after he has spent, say, $400 for
a set
of the latest and greatest Loge FireMusic cables from Valhalla labs
(or
possibly even laid out twice that for the Wotan series), then such a
person
can probably be convinced that doubling his investment will produce
more
(but likely not twice as much) satisfaction. And there are those
with more
money than sense who will not only go for it, but feel good about
the
purchase.


But if bi-wiring is such a good thing, then why stop with just two
runs.
Why not tri, or quad wiring?


Years ago, when Noel Lee walked into his first "high end" store with
a roll
of rather large diameter, but pretty, orange OEM cable, who could
have
guessed it would come to this?
