Bi wiring v single run w jumpers

geppy1

Back when I worked in the audio biz speakers had one set of terminals. Now most have two sets for bi amping or biwiring Last I checked most people do not bi amp and not many bi wire. Also jumpers all sound different and if you use the top terminals it sounds different then the bottom. Also is the top running the tweetrer or the mid and tweeter? That is another variable HATE IT.

I have three choices here. The speaker really does not matter as I want to be consistant when compaing these 3 sets of speakers.

1) Analysis plus Oval 9 with jumpers
2) Analysis plus Oval 9 with the terminals inside the speaker between the high and low connected operates like a normal 2 terminal speaker
3) Analysis plus Oval 12 bi wire.
Thoughts?? Thanks

The speaker does make a difference, what are you going to be using ?

There is no right or wrong answer, for me though, I prefer bi-wiring but certainly wouldn't object to using jumpers if I had to.

The oval 9 is for a more profound lower bass, providing your speakers can produce it. The 12's are for smaller floorstanders and bookies.

Tony I was reading about your legacy focus 20/20s last night after reading your sig on one of your posts and they look freaking amazing. Do you have a thread somewhere where you describe the sound that comes from those beauties and why do you biwire, is it for sound or for getting more current than a single wire can deliver or some other reason? Anyway I had never heard of or seen your legacies before, they look impressive.

Scot, sent ya a PM pal, don't want to muck up the OP's thread.
