Is your set-up bi-amped?


No, although I have wired it to the seperate speaker outlets. I only
used this setup because the Castles didn't come with the connection
bridges.


So, why are you using two runs of cable to each speaker?


Not sure I understand your question! Are you testing me, or do you not
understand the principle of biwiring?


For a given cable, wiring them both in parallel is always better than
biwiring separately to the tweeter and woofer. Of course if the cables
are thick enough to start with, there will be no difference. I have
carried out a Spice analysis of this, which you can find he

It shows the net effect of biwired and parallel wired cables
(connected to each other at both ends instead of just at the amp end).
The parallel wiring wins.
