why no Aleph 2 DIY w/ bi-wire?

[tomchaoda]

A simple question: Commerical Aleph 2 is bi-wired. Why no DIY has made it into bi-wire version? (at least I haven't seen one!)

mine originally were, but i decided against it, because im going to bi-amp instead.

Thomas,

I suppose you mean it has two pairs of output connectors? This is not really what I would call biwired as they are just connected to each other inside the case and help people who have speakers that can be biwired.

If your speakers don´t have this facility there´s no need to put two pairs of output connectors on the back of your amp.

P.S. some speakers can be tri-wired........

[cowanrg]

most speakers can be bi-amped/bi-wired.

using two different cables, one for highs, one for lows, can help out. its benefitial, but if you bi-amp with two amps, you cant really bi-wire.

some speakers are actually quad-ampable

Is is like this? (in the photo)

Does this make the sound better, if I have a bi-wired speaker?

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

yes like that, although - is normally connected directly to the caps (if the amp is not bridged)

I don´t think there will be a difference if you connect your (biwired) speaker to four or two outputs.

Biwiring does make a difference although I´m happy that my speakers don´t offer this facility
