I have a Roksan Kandy amp and Quad 11L speakers. Both of them

As far as I know, neither company produces speaker cable so why bother
if they don't gain?

Not suggesting your wrong but the logic does seem to be 'logical'!


This should sort the logic aspect:

Highstreet retailers sell speaker cables, its VERY profitable.

High street retailers like it when companies recommend bi-wiring as a
result

Therefore they buy and recommend people to buy gear that requires
bi-wiring.

Thus if Quad didnt recommend it, they would lose out as high street
sellers wouldnt recommend their gear.

since bi-wiring wont DEcrease sound quality, why NOT recommend it?


You say the sound quality won't decrease, but my way of thinking is
that every added cable that isn't coaxial is another opportunity for
some clown to wire it in out-of-phase.
