Does anyone have any experience biwiring these speakers? I am about to order some new speaker wire, and I'm not sure if I should try to biwire mine or not.

    Mine are bi-wired, not that you can really tell from the sound.

    So, it isn't worth the extra expense to biwire them?

    In my opnion there was no real difference in sound from a good set of wires.
    Originally I went from cheapo low gauge wires to bi-wires and there was a big difference but when I switched them out to try heavy 10g wires I did not noticed a diff.

    iif there is a set of biwires used for a good price, go for it. in my experience, biwiring is not much of a difference. improving the jumper itself might be.

    other people might have differing opinions. this has been the subject of very heated debate in the past

    That is true, if you can get bi-wires for around the same price as others then buy them.
    I would not avoid them but I would not spend extra money for them.
