question for general discussion regarding: bi-wiring

[aps1ngh]

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.
