Bi-wiring pair of 802D speakers

[onehorsepony]

I have a question about bi-wiring a pair of 802D speakers. I was always told that you could use two different types of cables. One for the woofers, that sound better on the low end. Another for the midrange/tweeter that sounds to my liking on the upper end.

Over the last couple of years, every article that I read state that bi-wiring doesn't give any benefit, and that I would get better sound investing in one single pair of more expensive cables, rather then two pairs of lesser priced cables.

Or I've read that you should never mix cables. That this will alter the way the crossover behaves yielding unpredictable results.

Does anyone remember mixing cables, or am I losing it

Many theories on this one.
Some say the internal crossover negates the bi-wire.
Some say thinner twisted pairs for top and thicker solid core for the bottom
Some use 2 runs of different type cable
Some buy and use a set of Bi-Wire cables, one input with 2 outputs
Some say it helps
Some say it doesn't

My opinion is that it may or may not do anything noticeable but depending on your gear, your ear, and your room and electricity conditions.
