Andy, there has been much research into the effects of bi-wiring of speakers
on sound reproduction, and you must understand the movement of electrons in
a conductor to fully comprehend what is going on and why these effects
influence the sound.

When you bi-wire you MUST use a thicker wire for the low frequency driver
then is used for the high frequency. The low frequency electrons are the
bigger, beefier (more muscled) electrons, that is why they are the low
frequency electrons, and they give you the more solid bass we are all
chasing. The high frequency electrons are the more delicate electrons,
smaller in size and faster moving. It is therefore worthwile to size the
wire to the fhysical characteristics of the electrons and thus seperate them
so there is no degrading interaction between them. You can imagine what
happens when the big burly low frequency electrons bump into the more
delicate high frequency electrons, some of them are actually knocked over
and may be injured and therefore are knocked out of the sound stream. This
will result in a loss of treble and over-emphasis of the bass.

It is absolutely necessary to use different sized wire for the low and high
frequencies, low frequency being the thicker wire. This gives the big burly
low frequency electrons more elbow room as they travel down the wire and
results in smoother sound and avoids the harshness that results from "angry
electrons".

As all the electrons leave the amplifier they are looking for the best path
to take. The big burly electrons will take the bigger path naturally, and
while some of the smaller electrons may initially go down that path as well
they won't a second time. After going through the ruff and tumble with the
big electrons they soon learn that if they are to survive they have to use
the other wire. This is why the wires MUST be different sizes and the low
frequency MUST be the thicker of the two. I cannot emphasise this enough.

The result, when implemented properly, will be a significant increase in the
energy in the music because all the electrons will be able to perform as
necessary for the best sound.

There willbe some people here who will ridicule what I have said, however,
this will be because they haven't implemented bi-wiring correctly. The ends
of the wires leaving the amp must be cut square, and when fitted into any
connector must have the cut end facing the electrons, otherwise how can the
electrons see which wire is thicker as they approach it. Failure to contend
with this simple problem has resulted in many attempts at bi-wiring being
unsuccessful at delivering the hoped for results.

Hope this has helped.
Best Regards.
