Chu, I read the schematic and I now realize why people can get confused. The author (your pcatech link) appeared to have shown that single wire and bi-wire are electrically the same, by demonstrating that the signal voltage (or emf) at the speaker terminals (inside the enclosure, and behind...

Chu, I was not surprised, because it is consistent with basic electrical principles. The umpteenth times, the two different crossover sections at the speaker end force the signals flowing through the two "halves" to be different. Some people insist that because it is still joined at the amp...

For those who believes, or want to read more about it, here's another one: http://www.bwspeakers.com/index.cfm/...7F00D0B7473B37

With bi-wiring, the crossovers inside the speaker are still employed and will do their job. To be sure how it works for your specific speakers, you may want to call Paradigm to get a definitive answer. You may read this link I posted before and get more detailed explanation...

Thank you Elliot, honestly I knew what you meant in your first post, I was just curious about your second post point ii.

Elliot, if I remember correctly, the Paradigm studios have two sets of terminals and links. You can bi-wire or bi-amp them using their own internal crossovers. You have to remove the links in either case. I don't know how you can bi-amp them and not use their internal crossover unless you open...

I read your post again and I am at a loss. I have never said anything about the effect of moving the passive crossover from one end of the wire to the other. Please read my post again if you don't believe. Regardless, like your point on the Fourier transform topic, there is no disagreement! As...

ChristopherDAC and JeremyErwin, I am sorry to see you guys arguing because of something I wrote. Although I said I was done with this bi-wire thing but let me comment one more time on the electrical side. I agree for the most part with ChristopherDAC on the Fourier thing. I also agree that...

I did my fair share of Fourier analysis but thank you for reminding me of it. Other than that, as I said I was done with this bi-wire thing.

I just measured the currents in my four pairs (bi-wired front channels) of cables of identical length, type, and size. Using the same track on the same CD, the LF pair carries 3 times the current of the HF pair when the bass drum hits. I tried my best to explain this in terms of electrical...

Chris, if you agree the crossovers are in fact separated, then would you not agree that each XO will reject the frequencies it does not want to take? So even though the signals still originate from one single point at the amp, the LF and HF signals now have two different paths to arrive at the...

Alan, I understand what you are saying, but unless the driver's crossover networks are internal connected (than what is the point to have the links outside), once the links are removed, one would think that the two crossovers networks are separated from each other. Of couse this is assuming...

I think he could be wrong about the bi-wire "lie". Once the link is removed at the speaker, the pair of wires connected to the high frequency drivers will carry mainly high frequency signals because the low frequency signals will see a higher impedance presented by the HF crossover circuit...
