Default bi-wire config question

aid wrote:

My speakers are three way, so at the moment I have the MF and HF
bridged together & the LF is seperate, is this correct? Or I should I
have the MF AND LF bridged together & the HF seperate? I'm using
Chord Chorus interconnects and Chord Oddessy bi-wire speaker cable.


My gut instinct would be to bridge the HF and MF, with the LF fed
separately. But try both ways and use whichever one you think sounds better.

That's some pretty nice speaker cable too, I'm using Chord Rumour 4
which does sound excellent. What it might be worth doing, depending on
how over the top you want to go, is to tri-wire the speakers. For this
I'd suggest using the Odyssey 4 for LF and MF and Rumour 2 for HF (HF
needs less current so a thinner cable will suffice).

But the bottom line is to do what you think sounds best. You've got to
live with the system, there's no "right" and "wrong" way with some of
these things, it's just what sounds "right" to you.

HTH.
