Does Bi-Wiring Affect Ohms?

[shacky]

You can turn one set of speakers off and hear the lows or turn the other set off and hear the highs. Neato. Turn 'em both off and you hear nothing.

Amazing

Cleaning up of the mid range is exactly what I saw ( heard ).....direct positive affect on the mids. By Bi wiring the AMPs Dampening is directly in between the Crossover at the Woofer/MidRange point.....

From an Ohm's/Foot point of view for the wire....Bi-wire now favors the AMP dampening, rather then the Woofer being closer to Midrange driver then the amp in a normal set up....

In a normal wiring plant, my take is the Midrange driver is acting as a damper for the Woofer's Microphone EMF in frequency range of the crossover overlap of the Woofer/Midrange. And that is the source of distortion that is cleaned up once you move to the bi-wire.

You know, most of this was over my head. Thankfully, it's not over my ears!
