To bi-wire or not to bi-wire
05/10/25 at 23:16:52
 
What’s the opinion of the group regarding bi-wiring their speakers?  In my current SS rig I’ve got my Forte’s bi-wired.  I intend to keep them that way with my soon-to-be-delivered UFO25 but I’d like the thoughts of others here who have 100% more experience with the SET amps.

For me, pre Decware, I biwired my speakers. With Decware I have single driver speakers so it isn't an option. With low power amps and high sensitivity speakers I feel like the advantages of biwiring are reduced, but not eliminated. What isn't reduced is the impact of the speaker cables on sound. So if you have speaker cables you like, and they are biwire, then by all means stick with it. But if you are looking to up your wire game then I would rather spend the money on a better single run then on biwiring. JMO/YMMV and all that.

Thanks for your response.  I went straight to bi-wire when I bought my Fortes and it’s impossible for me to know if there would have been any difference when I first hooked them up to my old SS amp.  The difference between the Fortes and my old Cerwin Vegas was quite astonishing so I’m looking forward to my first listen of the UFO25.  I think I’m sticking with the audio quest wires that came with the speakers for now.  I think I want to make adjustments after I’ve had a chance to get to know this new amp.

Cheers
