Default Front 3 channels Bi-Wired, feedback please!

I'm sure this has been done before but, like all things it's getting done again! Over the last year I have been reading in the various forums about bi-wiring speakers (please, I am NOT talking about bi-amping!) and it seems that most people are against it. I am trying to get the best out of what I have and I liked the idea of bi-wiring my front 3 channels. After lots of research and emails with vendors I went with Calabrine.com and used their "Quadio Ultra Bi-Wire Pair Speaker Cables" 1pair for the front l & r and a single cable for the center all 3m long. I was using monster ultra 1000 THX series cable before this and they were well made beefy cables and I loved them. Well guess what, once I installed the new bi-wire cables and fired the system up I began to hear things in sound effects and music that I didn't hear before,. I am talking about blu-ray disc that i have owned and listened to many times. I could hear more things from the high freq's and the low freq's were more tight and focused. here is some of the reference materials I used:

2008 DTS HD Demo disc given out at CES 2008: selection "Chieli Minnucci/Daybreak" DTS-MA-HD 96/24. 5.1

Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: live at Radio City DTHD 96/24 5.1 or
48/24 PCM Stereo

Sunshine DTS-MA-HD 5.1

Master & Commander DTS-MA-HD 5.1

The Punisher War Zone DTS-MA-HD 7.1

Baraka DTS-MA-HD 96/24

AKIRA DTHD 192/24

Again, I own all of these and the CES demo disc selection listed i'm surprised i haven't worn that thing out as much as I listen to it. I'd like to hear from the folks who are for it because they either believe in it's potential or they have set it up and experienced it like I have. of course I want to hear from those who think it was a waste of time and money. I am also curious if the folks who are against it have ever done the taste test of listening to something with normal wiring and then the same thing with the only change being in the cables, nothing else. I'm here to tell you that it was one of the best things I have done for my system in years. responses, Please & Thank You. Oh yeah, I updated my gallery to reflect this!
