Why Bi Wire Speaker Cables may not be your Best Upgrade Bi wire speaker cables have become popular in the last 10 years. Can you guess why? Because it looks cool… That’s right. In extreme cases of a speaker cable being too small, adding a second cable will lower the resistance a bit. Bi wiring does basically one thing... Lower the resistance of the cable by providing more cross section of the speaker cable. (And giving a lower overall wire gauge) To upgrade your speaker cables go to Wire & Cable - We carry a large selection of bulk reels to completed cables in every style and length. If you are using cheap thin cables you may see some performance gains – maybe even substantial performance gains if using a very high wire gauge. (small size cable) The only way to properly bi wire speaker cables is by using separate conductors from the amplifier the whole way to the separate binding posts on the speaker. There are some cables that use a jumper at the end while using the same conductor throughout the cable length. For most situations; bi-wiring speaker cables is nothing but a gimmick and waste of money. There is one situation where bi wiring not only makes scientific sense but is also a necessity:When you use active crossovers, you will need an individual cable for each speaker driver. Now here; the benefits of bi wiring are fully realized because only the signal which is sent through the cable is received by the speaker driver. This allows you to use smaller gauge cable for the tweeter, then slightly larger for the mid-range and finally, a large wire gauge for the bass drivers. If bi wire speaker cables are what you are after this is the only useful execution of them. So why has bi wiring become so popular with surround sound hookup then? Like I said, it’s all about the looks, some consumers are after the concealed speaker wire appearance while others want to show off their audio jewelry.

Customer Testimonials:
"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.
My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA
"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.
Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.
I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.
The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.
I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.
The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.
These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)
"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99
"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45
"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254
"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244
"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...
While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182
"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30
"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.
My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26
"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.
Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142
"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!
I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
