straight to bi-wiring, now I need the new cable...suggestions?
I have purchased a pair of Paradigm monitor 9s and have asked around for wiring questions and have decided upon the gauge but now have decided to go the bi-wiring route instead of just purchasing new speaker cables. However, I have been pointed to www.partsexpress.com for cheap speaker cable. However, I understand that for bi-wiring you can either run two seperate speaker wire strands or one that has four seperate wires in the it. At partsexpress I have only found one wire that allows for this

However, does anyone suggest different speaker wire or a different online vendor to purchase a similar product from?
What made you decide to bi-wire?

Have you listened to your new speakers with a single run? I have not heard your Paradigms but I did own a set of speakers that sounded better with a single run of good cable than a double run of the same model/brand. You might try the jumper suggestion with one run of speaker cable and then try another run later to hear if it brings about any improvements. My two cents.
