After reading all of the posts on bi-wiring helps/doesn't help I decided to find out for myself.So I placed a order with Signal Cable for the "Ultra bi-wire speaker cables" and tonight I decided to hook them up

My complaint with these Monitor 60's since I bought them was the lack of bass.Now it is there.Still not where I would like it.But,a very noticable improvement.
They also sound "cleaner" if that makes any sense.

Was this becuase of the better quality cable or the bi-wiring? Who cares.It seems to be money well spent:D

    Hey ratster, I've got some new Monitor 60-II's that I'm in the process of conditioning, and they are sounding better each day. I am really thinking of doing the bi-amping thing when I do my complete rewire and banana plug project, so does one need a special
    "Ultra bi-wire speaker cables" for this undertaking, or will regular 12ga do the trick as well??? Are you more, or less, satisfied with your "60"s now, and do you recommend this?

    I'm a newb so I'm not the one to ask about bi-amping.

    I'm sure regular 12 awg would be fine.

    It did make a noticable improvement in the sound quality of my speakers escpecially on the low end where I have never been happy their performance.I'm still not pleased with the bass but it has improved.

    From my experiences I would recommend doing it and let me know what your thoughts are afterwords.Good Luck!

    I'm nothing near an expert, but I've biwired with some regular 12ga wire with no issues. I actually did not notice a difference.

    I was biwiring with the GFA-5800, which has two sets of binding posts.

    please note. Bi amping and bi wiring are two very different things.
