Well, frankly this explanation sounds like nonsense. I don't see any way in which the magnetic fields generated by current in one wire will interfere with or significantly affect another. There probably exist tiny non-linear effects like that, but the phase of the moon has an effect as well. > > Now that the low and high frequency signals have been divided among not > only the speaker drivers, but the speaker cables, these cables can be > more specialized for their intended purpose.

It is true that, for certain exotic speakers, the impedance can dip pretty far down at certain frequencies, which could mean that the speaker cable would have a real effect - although that depends a lot on the amplifier. Exactly how you would engineer the cable to best avoid that depends on the speaker *and* the amplifier. But it's really rhe exception that proves the rule - yes, there are very special cases you can find where the cables matter, and where bi-wiring might therefore have an audible effect, but you have to look pretty hard, and you have to remember how many other factors there are in this game (speaker position, listening position, room acoustics, speaker frequency response, ear wax) which are just much more important. -- 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
