Me too. They're better than the Magnepan SMGa's I had previously. Paradigm, like many Canadian speaker companies, are much better than their reputation among audiophiles because they don't market the .......

I use a double biwire set of JPS Labs Ultraconductors with my 60's. They work great, cost about $300. I liked these better than the Nordost, Kimber and AQ cables that I borrowed. These were all burned .......

I biwire from three Parasound JC 1 monoblocks to a pair of 107/2s and a 204/2C, two wires from each amp to each speaker. db .......
194: "If cheap wires are used, biwire"? -- I didn't say that. (4.78)
Posted by Richard BassGreene on 2008-08-28, 07:14:16 (66.51.146.158)
I wrote if I were going to spend $100 to biwire (buy wire), then I would want to have results from at least one objective experiment that provided evidence that biwiring made an audible difference. In .......

Was wondering the same thing myself. I have the 60's and am using Monster 1.4 biwire (internal). I have no comparison experience, but the price was right - about $220, 13 feet each. Sounds o.k., but I .......

if you don't mind my asking what differences/improvements did you notice when biwiring? When you had a single wire run did you connect it to the high or low frequency inputs? Thanks for you help, Chee .......

Posted by mls-stl on 2009-09-08, 10:43:24 (12.28.46.98)
I had a pair of S8es for a while and did try biwiring. If there was a difference, it was so subtle that I could not reliably attribute any advantage to that change. I just stuck with with single wirin .......
199: There's obviously a little bit of a problem with that, don't you think? (4.74)
Posted by carcass93 on 2010-11-11, 20:44:21 (173.72.74.208)
With "specific" part, I mean. That "Pointless (N/T)" remark actually says nothing about whether it makes sense to biwire in general, or PSB Imagine T specifically. However, it does say something about .......

Posted by darkare on 2002-11-05, 03:01:42 (210.8.232.6)
Well, I'll have to hook up a pair of AN Spz to find out it is really that musical but I think it is going take me some time :-( Where can you buy those cables in Japan ? I guess the answer is biwire o .......
