Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: I think Richard Vandersteen got it right

The magnetic field established at right angles to a current flowing in a conductorf is the Hall effect. But the inverse is also true: a changing magnetic field can cause a current to flow in a conductor. *That* is what he proposes: the strong magnetic field from the high-current low-freq wires smears/overrides the very small current flowing in the wires carrying the highs.

It makes sense to my ears. With bi-wiring, I hear greatly improved low-level detail and harmonics, which are most welcome with my old Spica TC-50s. John Bau, seeing a pic of his hacked-up crossovers, commented that he expected a big improvement, and that he wished he knew then what he knows now about ground plane interactions. Maybe someone can fill me in on what he was referring to. (He has been out of the Spica world for many years, and I don't bother him with questions.)
