What does bi-wiring the speaker mean?

What exactly does 'dubbed' mean? What does 'Bi-Lingual' mean?

FAQ
Dubbed': Most of the people that still ask this question are probably really trying to make sure we are not carrying some Hong Kong dubbed bootleg, which of course, we don't. :-) 'Dubbed' simply mean that the original Japanese language dialog has been redone in English language dialog by professional voice actors. Keep in mind though, that not all dubs are created equal. See similar questions...

What is Bi Wiring can it help the sound?

Aaron Hi Fi Frequently Asked Questions
With our speakers because of the way we design them it should be enough for you to simply connect one good quality twin wire cable to your amplifier. However if your speakers are a long way from your amplifier of you are a perfectionist then you may consider using two twin wire cables and in extreme cases where you wish to make the sound as perfect as possible you would use two power amplifiers as well.

What is Bi-wiring and do you recommend it?

PSB Speakers - Frequently Asked Questions
First you must check with your authorized PSB dealer to ascertain whether your particular speakers are bi-wirable. If so, it can be accomplished by using one speaker cable for the woofers, and the other cable for the midrange and tweeters. At the other end, both cables connect to the same amplifier output terminals. The thinking being that using separate cables for low and high frequencies would somehow reduce interference between the two and improve sound quality. See similar questions...

What does bi-amping the loudspeaker mean?

Mission - FAQ
Bi-amping is the next stage up from bi-wiring and again necessitates removal of the bi-amp links from the crossover terminals. However, rather than having the common point at the amplifier’s terminals, the HF and LF terminals are fed by two dedicated amplifiers, one driving the HF and the other driving the LF. By allowing the tweeters and woofers to be driven separately, the ‘load’ seen by the amplifier is reduced and improved sound quality results. See similar questions...

What is Harbeth's opinion about the benefits of bi-wiring?

Harbeth Frequently Asked Questions
We introduced the bi-wire terminal arrangement on the original HL Compact back in 1988, and it has been a feature of all Harbeth HL and domestic monitor speakers ever since. The original thinking was promoted by Martin Colloms in Hi-Fi News but as we belatedly discovered once we'd started shipping the HL Compact to Japan, Toshiba Corporation already had a patent on bi-wiring, and they set about enforcing it through their Intellectual Property lawyers.

What exactly is, and what are the advantages of bi-wiring and bi-amping speakers?

Radfords - HiFi - Home Cinema - Custom Installation
Bi-amping a pair of speakers basically entails adding a power amplifier to your system so that your integrated amplifier drives the tweeter units whilst the power amplifier drives the bass units. This ensures that the speakers are driven more efficiently which in turn will produce a greatly improved sound. Bi-wiring on the other hand simply means bypassing the crossover unit on the speaker so that the speaker cable goes directly into the bass and tweeter units. See similar questions...

How thick does the wiring have to be?

Low voltage electrics for marine, motorhome and caravan use
Low voltage electrics is a lot safer than electrics at higher voltages but it suffers for volt drop quite badly. With the average length of a boat on inland waterways and the complexity of caravan wiring increasing, the wiring runs are getting longer. Furthermore, owners are specifying more power hungry equipment than used to be the case. Both of these effects mean that careful choice of your wire is vital. See similar questions...

Why does my preamp have speaker connections?

Legendary Audio Classics: Marantz Classics FAQ
Marantz preamps with this connection configuration are designed to have you connect the speaker outputs on an amplifier to the speaker inputs on the preamp. These are all benefits you don't get with preamps that don't handle switching the speakers (in other words, 99% of them.) The down side of this design is that if you do choose to route the speaker signals through the preamp, you're putting them through (at a minimum) one set of switches and two sets of speaker terminals, typically clamps.
