With my speakers if you wire a shotgun pair (like I have) to the upper & lower modules it cuts out the crossover in the speakers vs. wiring to the lower pair of terminals. I would say to try both & stick with what sounds best but that would be way too easy
Thanks Carl. after a little more searching on Audio Asylum, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to run shotgun wires is that the positives will be in the same cable sheath, and the negatives will be in the other sheath. I have gone ahead and wired the cables this was and it honestly sounds fantastic! Still breaking the wire in, but so far, so good. Any idea if running the cables this way cuts out the crossover on the VR2's?
Choice #2 is the way to go. Don't ask me why, that's just how it's done. What I appreciate with bi-wiring is getting rid of the metal jumper plates that connect the tweeter posts to the driver posts (positive>positve / negative>negative). The posts restrict extention and sound somewhat clouded. Once you've heard your speakers without them, it's hard to go back...at least in this crackpot's opinion. If you can only run one set of speaker cables to your speakers, connect to the tweeter's posts. The jumpers' effects are not quite as noticeable when the tweeter gets the straight juice. This has been my experience. The jumpers seem to really hinder the tweeter's performance when the cables are connected to the driver's binding posts.

I have gone ahead and already wired them as choice #1, and so far it sounds great. Many people on Cable Asylum say the best way to go is like choice #1, but there are many other who swear by choice #2. I think I will stay with it like this for a while, and I may split them up again at some point and do some more tests. I have been running the VR2's with the Canare 4S11 wired with each conductor going to a post. I have yet to try the VR2's with the jumper plate, and don't plan on it...
I also have to reccomend a new SACD I got the other day which was recorded with the infamous IsoMike! The Joe McQueen SACD i"Ten At 86" is outstanding! Soundstage and dynamics are great! Thanks again to you both and +t...
