Do you think those people that hear an audible difference from bi-wiring are really just hearing the difference from removing their low quality jumper and replacing it with an extra set of high quality wire?

Discuss. :p

    Not in my case (tho I think I 'bi-AMPed' - I'm still confused about difference as definitions vary), I didn't screw around with any wires, just:
    1. removed jumper bars on speakers
    2. used surround back channel terminals - to speakers' extra terminals.

    My sense is that this really only improves sound in certain situations (it did in mine - Onkyo 705 - RTi10's) YMMV.
    It's certainly a cheap easy upgrade, and if you don't like the results. just undo them.

    HOWEVER: IF you have the bucks and space - my sense from reading these boards - is that a dedicated amp is the way to go.
    LR Setup:
    Polk RTi10's, RTi6's, CSiA6 (5 ch setup)
    Onkyo 705 & Denon 3808ci Receiver, Onk 875
    Parasound 2250 Amp
    Sony 26" KDL series Bravia LCD
    Panny DMR-EH75 Recorder
    Panny DVD-F87 (5 disk DVD player)
    NAD T585 (DVD/SACD)
    Yamaha DVD-C961 (5 disk SACD/DVD)
    SciAnt Explorer 8500HD Cable Box
    Orig & 5Gen iPods, , Wii
    Plans/Fantasies:
    • 400 disk player that handles ALL formats, sounds as good as NAD with Panasonic interface & compatability.
