No need to read any more. The most elementary knowledge of circuits and speaker crossovers tells you the results of this plot - that more current flows to the tweaters at high freq. and to the woofers at low freq. If he measured the curent inside the speaker enclosure at the driver terminals he'd get exactly the same result in either the bi-wired or single wired configuration. However evidently he thinks his result is somehow interesting or surprising, that it matters for some reason and is an advantage (separating the magnetic fields??) - but that same elementary knowledge of electronics says that's highly dubious at best. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34318 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
