    Question Different cables to BI-WIRE DM 601 S3 and Marantz SR6300 (van den hul cables)

    I recently bought B&W DM 601 S3 speakers along with Marantz SR6300
    receiver and got 2x3 meters of Van den hul SKYLINE Hybrid cable
    (http://www.vandenhul.com/cable/skyln-h.htm), but now I would like to
    bi-wire them and I was told that I need to buy a set of bi-wiring
    cables or buy an extra pair of cables of same length.
    As I understand advantage of bi-wiring is only seen when using cables
    that are better in bass for bass/mid connector, and using cable thaat
    excells in high frequencies for the tweeter connector of bi-wire
    inputs.
    In order not to lose money on cables here is the question:

    CAN I USE Van den Hul SKYLINE HYBRID FOR THE TWEETER AND Van den Hul
    CS-122 (http://www.vandenhul.com/cable/cs-122-h.htm) FOR THE
    BASS/MID??

    WILL THIS BE BI-WIRING OR JUST SPENDING MONEY AND HEARING NO EFFECT??

    Different cables have different properties like
    resistance,impedance,material theyr made of, These two cables are not
    of same material and have different properties that I do not
    understand (see links). Is that a problem 4 bi-wiring?
    ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS.?
    THANKS ,WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP FOLKS! CYA

    You're working on a lot of assumptions, here.

    First off, you assume that there are major audiable differences in cables. The jury's still out on that one. If the differences were that audiable, particularly when comparing cables of the same gauge, length and constructiion, they would have reached a verdict long. long ago.

    As far as those measurable differences you make, many are still trying to corolate these measurments with audiable differences.

    You might want to check out http://www.audioholics.com for their take on cables. Many interesting articles there.

    Second, bi-wiring effectively doubles the gauge of the wires going to the speakers. That in itself may account for some of the differences reported with bi-wiring. Again, please note that quite a few have reported no difference with bi-wiring.

    It's your money and your call.
