Paul, No, there is a difference with bi-amping, and both Scott and Jon make good points. in a bi-amp situation the woofer can draw whatever it needs without effect on the mid or high pass sections. So you won't get tweeter problems if your woofer clips. Be aware however that in a passive...

Pete, I think I see where you're coming from. Pander was probably the wrong word to use; "conform with market perceptions" is a phrase that best suits. I firmly believe that anything a company writes about it's products is only there because they believe it will increase sales or maintain a...

Jon, yes, they'll spend what they can, but on what they want, and the priorities may not be what someone else considers reasonable. I know someone who bought a tiny house in a poor neighborhood so she could continue to afford owning her own plane. Her motto was "if it doesn't have wings, It's...

Jon, Not if they know their users. They wouldn't target those who put cost before quality, even if it's perceived quality. They know that there's more to the bottom line for the audiophile than money. Marc, That was probably put there so audiophiles who don't bi-wire can still feel like...

Pete, Always remember that manufacturers of ANY product, not just audio, pander to their target audience. If Acme knows that more coyotes will buy their rocket-powered roller skates if they market them as "specifically designed for outmaneuvering roadrunners!" then you can be sure that will...

The bottom line is really whether or not you enjoy your hobby. I don't presume to tell you how to enjoy yourself. If you want to bi-wire, it's fine by me. However, If you want to continue to discuss this we can. The mechanisms of signal propagation at audio frequencies are well known, the...

Ah, so you believe this occurs in the single wire with jumper case as well? Unfortunately it does not happen that way. Your analogy with solving currrent values in a circuit does not apply to this scenario. A static solution to an LCR circuit behaves as you say, but the AC properties of...

This is a bit dodgy on the physics. First off, the woofer never "springs back". it moves where the magnetic field interactions tell it to move. It has inertia and therefore lags, and that causes back EMF. Back EMF is present whenever a magnetic field is changing. Since with an AC signal the...
