Bi-amping and Speaker Cable

Unread post by alans1957 »

I am currently bi-amping with M300's using LS5 on the bass/mid and LSTS on the tweeter.

Obviously I can see there would be a benefit in using in using either the LS6 or LS7 on the bass/mid, but would there be a benefit in upgrading the LSTS to either an LS6 or LS7 on the tweeter, or perhaps use my LS5 on the tweeter and an LS6 or LS7 on the bass/mid.

You don't need a larger gauge cable for the tweeters. The upgrade for LST is LSTS - a similar overall gauge to LST but 4 of the 7 copper cores are replaced with 10 thin silver plated cores. To my ears it sounds more open and natural. As always, 30 day home trial.
