phil_l's simple system

Owner

My cables are "internal" bi-wire so both sets are within one large bundle. I don't know whether the gauges are different, but it makes sense to me that it is best to use the same gauge if you run two separate cables.

I think the B&W are a bit fussy but worth the effort. If the gear is low distortion, the rest follows. The speakers will let you know if there is noise somewhere in your setup. Fortunately, specifications have gotten better across many manufacturers and they have also figured out which measurements are most important. Lots of fine gear now at all price points.

Are your bi-wire cables equal gauge on both sets of speaker terminals? I ran into an issue with a bi-wire set that had 12g on the woofers and 14g to mids & treble. I could never get a respectable frequency balance on my old N802’s. My conclusion was due to the high crossover frequency on the bass at 350hz. If I ever decide to bi-wire again, I would make sure both runs are identical.

Thank you. Took me years to realize what I really wanted and that simple would work better for me. Bought and sold a lot of gear to get to my current keep-it-simple system.

Simple but awesome. Love the minimalism of it.

Thank you.

The Mola Mola amps are small wonders. The amps easily drive the B&W, Very natural sounding, no frequencies enhanced or diminished. The pairing is very musical. As the volume is increased, one gets the sense of speakers just absorbing the power and getting bigger. It is a fun setup.

Very interesting setup. How does the Mola Mola handles cruel impedences speakers as the B&Ws you own
