Please explain the reason for doing this? does it improve the sound that noticably?

[Willferox]

I have a Cambridge Audio azur 540A and Cambridge Audio S70 speakers. Will there be any significant improvement in sound quality by bi-wiring?

My new AVR (Onkyo 609) supports bi-amping, as do my speakers (Tringle comete).

I'd need to buy & run in some more wires, so can anyone tell me if bi-amping is really worth it? What improvement do you get?

@ravaneli55 nope..... except ur amp r bridgeable.....

[ravaneli55]

Can you biam to a single set of speaker terminals? Just so u get more power to the speaker? What if my speaker towers have a single set of terminals, but they are rated for 350W, so they can really use two channels of power to a single speaker..

@calvinchoe100 Only if you are using really crappy wire...

[MertinJW]

I disagree, with quality and large gauge wire there is no difference if its split at one binding post or another. Bi amping is the only way you can hear a difference as there is more power available to the speaker.

@JiveDadson - the vid was using duplicated signals for bi-amping, waste of time imho. I'm with you on the active crossover though :), mine works very well.

Thank you for this video, it didn't help me with what you were talking about, but it did make me suddenly understand why my receiver says it can Bi-amplify and when I changed it to the setting to try to figure out what it did, all it did was bottom out my satellite speakers... Now I understand the bi-amplifier was sending the front channel sound to the tiny rear channel speakers.

Bi -wire doesnt make any diferent because is the same power fron the receiver or amp ,,bi-amplify is better cause have separate apm ,,but everything sound better,,with nice cables and nice speakers ,,,
