Bi-Wiring Using Only High Pass

[LaserWolf]

I have a pair of high quality bi-wire speaker cables that I want to hook up. If I hook them up using only the high pass cables will the audio be degraded? I have my avr speaker settings set to small, crossover 120hz, so I figured that all the bass frequency would be redirected to my sub anyway. Is that really what happens or am I better off ditching the bi-wire cables in favor of standard? I'm no longer using bi-wire speakers that is why I have the extra bi-wire cables.

I would stick to standard wire. You'll pick up more interference if you use it on non-bi-wireable speakers. I have bi-wire speakers that I don't bi-wire because honestly good cross-overs prevent me from differentiating it.

I would say to use a regular connection. I'm not an expert on the subject, but unless you know that hi-pass passes from 120Hz on up, you may lose some mid-range sounds.

Thanks for the advice. I decided to go with standard speaker wire for a few days and then switch to the bi-wire high pass to compare sound.
