    I did that with my last set of Omegas, seemed to tighten up bass and provide a touch more clarity and presence overall, and I believe Louis does use two runs internally. He doesn't offer an explanation, but only that it sounds better to him.

    wow that is strange except that I'm a big wire overkill kinda guy, so thats was what i was thinking. Nobody ever tried just one larger wire gauge to see?
    by the way those look very nice GLWS.
