I see - your explanation makes sense to me (the separate signals going straight back into the same circuit in the amp).
What Hi-Fi doesn't seem to agree that it takes two amp circuits to benefit: http://www.whathifi.com/newsMainTemplate.asp?storyID=59&newssectionID=3 http://www.whathifi.com/newsMainTemplate.asp?storyID=60&newssectionID=3 > Biwiring involves the use of two runs of cable between an amp and a > suitable pair of speakers, and works because the return feeds between > the speakers and amplifier aren't carrying full-range signal, but only > that relevant to the appropriate part of the speaker. > > So the treble and mid/bass are kept apart right from the speaker > outputs of the amp to the speakers, the result usually being a sound > with greater bass control and punch, and a crisper, cleaner treble.

I'm just about to go and have a listen at more normal volume levels now that the family isn't in bed. -- Impeller ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Impeller's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8396 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30074 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
