THANK YOU!
...side of the coin is that bi-wiring will be of little or no significance...that it's most salient result is to effectively increase the gauge of wire, which also affects the capacitance, inductance and susceptibility to RFI/EMI in the circuit...Generally speaking, none of these resultant things seem to be of any real sonic benefit under controlled tests.

The results, if there actually are any, will not be night and day dramatic...there might be some subtle differences observed over the course of time, but the counter to that argument is that you are simply listening "better" and might notice things you never took the time to listen for before your "buy-wire"-ing. Added to the mix is that even the most ardent supporters of such wiring schemes usually claim small, but noticeable, differences and usually only with more SOTA level equipment. They reults may also be software dependent.

To disabuse you of one particular fallacy, speakers with the jumpers connecting the woofers and tweeters were "created" for bi-amplification which, if done correctly, can actually improve your sound...Bi-wiring, and the notion that it makes any difference, is simply a by-product of tinkering or tweaking with those newly available connections...Some claim to have heard a difference and thus bi-wiring was born.

As a point of reference, and of similar scope, is the aftermarket power cord business. Starting as a manufacturing economy, equipment companies began using IEC connectors as opposed to hard-wired cords, a tweaker here, a tweaker there...next thing you know...bada-bing, bada-boom...$1000 power cords with reptillian designations...The psychology is simple: create a void and someone will fill it. With the advent of CDs and the general loss of TTs and cartridges to futz with, what's the average tinkering sort of audiophool to do?

To get the best sound your system is capable of requires no wires and probably no expenditure whatsoever. Simply find positions within your listening area where your loudspeakers do their best and experiment with room acoustics...it's that synergy which will have an impact far greater than any wire ever will...
