You got that right JackD. Or how about just a decent jumper?
ihatejazz, pleasure meeting you!
ichabod wrote:What got me curious about your post is not about bi(uy) wires, but about your pechant for speakers. I see that you had on two occasions owned a Quad. What made you change your mind on them? There are some folks I know who'd like to get them. Maybe it would pay to listen to what you have to say. Just heard a Quad 11 yesterday. Reminds me of the spendor S 3/5 sound. But these Quads are impeccable in build quality. A royalty for a speaker!

A day before he picked them up someone left a pair of extra speaker cables and I decided to give it a spin by experimenting to bi-wire. Boy, the sound came alive and never heard such transparency in a speaker not to mention the added dynamics it gave out. I could not back out from my promise so Noct came by to pick up those lovely speakers. Up to this date I keep asking him when he is going to sell them back to me.

Ecosse & Kimber are using different guage of cable on HF & LF, Kimber are using lesser strands of wire on the HF while Ecosse prefer a solid conductor on HF.
What are your opinions on this?

Great question. With questions like this this thread may stretch on forever. Audio being such a subjective hobby that anyone or everyone can be an expert instantly. You deal with people who are objective and a lot of ass-holes who are so opinionated so you will hear 1001 ways on how to skin a cat alive

Simpler buy a cable that is prepped for bi-wiring.
