Interesting what you say Jon about your speakers, I have Silver 100s I wounder if it would work them, as in the past I have read that certain brands of speakers do respond well to Bi-wiring and others don't, the artical I was reading did touch on this subject. I think first I will look at bridging as my priority on spending is going towards the turntable up grade and new glasses which I'm probably going to need after my eye examination next week.

So the differences are down to the impedance/capacitance/inductance changes. With my kit LS3/5a a few years ago, I connected them conventional. Then I unscrewed the backs and connected both drivers to the same binding posts. With my more recent 12PW/7P combo several months ago, I bi-wired with the same cable type and length. When I pair the 11MS and CHR-120, I will bi-amp with two pairs of Proprius so that I can alter their levels independently without resistors and so the inductive effects of one coil don't affect the other coil. Can then double-DAC if I want to do digital filters.

With bi-amping we are talking mono blocks or if you figure two amps to work so that one works as a pre-amp so each amp is sending a different signal but with a single amp I can see why people are sceptical as to it's benefits of bi-wire as both cables are coming out from the same amp speaker turminal. When I first got into HiFi I will admit to thinking that you needed two sets of turminals to bi-wire your speakers as I thought at the time that was the only way you could do it and also I couldn't see how two cables coming from the same turminal could split the signal, I now know better.
