Cables - Bi-wire?
Posted: Sat Jul 14, 2012 1:27 pm
Hi Richard
Just placed an order for a pair of the Mk1 A80s to try.
Now, at the moment I'm using a bi-wire set of Anti-cables with my Anatek MB50s which won't suit the NVAs. So, I will need some cables made up so I can run both set-ups off against each other. To make sure I'm comparing like with like I would want the NVA cables to be bi-wire too. They would need to be 2.5m long and I'm thinking, (to save some ££), could they be made using LS5 for the LF and LS1 for the HF? I'm guessing the HF doesn't require the same current capacity as the LF? So my questions are: (Regardless of whether bi-wiring is actually worthwhile).
1. Would you think this asymmetrical construction would be ok?
2. If not, what construction would you recommend?
3. If they were made asymmetrical would I need to buy them outright?
4. How much would they cost me?
Cheers.
Pete
