[rec.audio.high-end] Bi-Wiring: give me tech answer

rdw89@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Williams RD) (06/07/91)

So many speakers nowadays provide the ability to bi-wire that I would
like to know what good people think this does.  I can see why driving
one half of the speaker from one amplifier and the other half from
another would (possibly) do some good, but how does running two lengths
of wire from the same amplifier help?

Now I don't want answers like "Because it sounds better".  There's
got to be a technical explanation for this.
Surely any voltage drop in the cable due to heavy bass current demand
can only _help_ the treble part of the crossover do its job...

Email replies would be nice... (If your reason is that good!)
