    dude. you just opened up a can of worms.. but it's cool.

    the debate whether bi-wiring makes a difference is highly debateable. Some folks say yes.. others say it's all hooey.

    I have my fronts and center bi wired... with good Monster Z2 cables. To me.. it's a slightly more open soundstage in the fronts.

    Oh No!!! Not again...

    Bi-wiring is like religion and politics...... some believe strongly one way or the other, most are in the middle.

    I have tried Bi-wiring my Center in the past and I recently switched to a single run of 10AWG from Colbalt Cable.

    http://www.cobaltcable.com/

    I think the single run sounds better to me, just use good quality cable. Maybe I should not have said that because of those that believe "cable is cable". You will have those that believe strongly that bi-wiring is better, you will just have to try it for yourself.

    Do you know someone that has a bi-wire cable with bannana plugs? If so, you could easily just borrow it to try it out.
