Tend to agree!
I have experimented with Bi-wiring over the years, and although i found it did make a diffrence, i came to the conclusion that it was mainly negative.

Ah well of course if you use a thinnish cable for one and a thick for the other small resistive differences between them will interact with the crossover etc to give a slightly skew whiff FR....

I have tried bi-wiring my KEF Q500's and the sound was different but I would hesitate to say it was better. It was definitely different though.
Hmmm in mid 90's Having just bought a Pair of Arcam D290's ( Inty and Power units) I immediately tried the double run of Wire.
Hey! the sales man said; "s good!"
It made No differences that I could hear. Did make more of a wire mess that the Housemate complained about though.
Truth was the Arcams subsequently proved themselves to be poorly designed underperfoming amps.... Grrrr.
So in retrospect the Biwiring itself may not have been at fault.
No plans on repeating the experiment though.

I found solid core on the ESL and multi-strand on the bass driver of Martin Logan Ascents to work well. Worth trying stuff like that if you already have the cables.
