Bi-wiring The question that can't be answered?

[jneutron]

At least that you are aware of. There are dozens of speakers and amplfiers that support biwiring. Before you counter with "they just do that to placate stupid audiophiles", I suggest you actually talk to one of their designers so that you may understand the engineering reason(s).rw

The designers will not have correct engineering reasons. None of them ever do. Talking with them will be useless.

That doesn't mean biwiring is incorrect, just that they do not understand.

As for me, I am neutral on the topic because I use full range electrostats.

Perhaps you should add some rear firing tweeters to bring those "(darn, can't remember what the word was..insert something witty here)" panels up to bare minimal audiophile standards..

How's it going? Just figured I'd drop in and add some negativity..

Omniscient, are we?

Skeptic/Soundmind's attempted derogatory term is "dressing screens".

Aside from some rain, things are doing well here in AR. Negativity? I rather appreciate it when knowledgeable folks correct the simple conclusions made by armchair audio engineers.

Don't know..gotta look that up. It certainly isn't in my copy of Jackson.

Edit: ah, I realized a better word than Omniscient.. Historian. As in, so far, to date, I've not seen an explanation which holds water. Those who explain why it does either misconstrue existing concepts, extend out hearing ability far beyond reasonable, or make stuff up as they go along. Reasons why it can't work have not historically hit the target either..

So, no, not Omniscient. (end of edit)

I can't believe nobody's followed up on the dissipation angle, it's just so darn simple. Sheesh, I posted it what, two years ago?

Ah yes, dressing screens..well, they probably still need rear firing tweets.. Take it from me...my coffee cup has rear firing tweets, and the coffee tastes so much better..

When I find someone who is knowledgeable, I'll send them here..till then, all ya gots is me..I post in between sweeping the floors and cleaning the bowls..

My big a$$ dipoles have thirty square feet of 'em!

While "rear firing tweeters" was the title of the post, what really floats SM's boat is spraying HF at the ceiling using three tweets crossed over at 6 khz. Yes, you heard me correctly.

Ah. Honestly, when I see both of your monikers, I have little desire to delve into the sub thread...again, a historical consideration, nothing more..

Probably because it is driven by the marketing department, not the Engineering department......

Happy Thanksgiving, John.
