Anyone tried a comparison between these two configurations?
Currently I have a shotgun run with tara labs cable to the bass module and MIT750+II to the monitors. I want to upgrade with common sourced wire between the two cabinets.
I'm leaning toward a shotgun configuration because that will still work for me if I bi-amp at some point. Also most of the bi-wires I see on agon have short tails and that won't work with my speakers. But for the same money as shotgun singles I can get another step up of the bi-wire.
Any thoughts?

+t for asking.

Shotgun is two completely parallel sets of wire instead of a split tail for biwire or both conductor runs sharing a single sleave.

What's the point at curiosity? RFI/EMI I would guess?

Somehow, I can't help but think that twin runs would add reactance and also possibilty of EMI.
Am I looking at this wrong somehow ?

The only experience I had was running Kimber 4TC shotgun to my old B&Ws. I replaced them with MIT MH750+ S3 Biwire which were much better... I now have MH750 Shotgun and they are a little better, but not much.
Not a real statistically significant sample, I know ;D

I've thought about just upgrading to the newer MIT bi-wires but I don't know what I'm going to do. Based on a survey of prices, I can get a better set of bi-wires for the same money I'd pay for two runs of lesser wire. But I would then have to get another pair of wire if I biamp - or not bi-amp.
I need to just stay the fuck away from audiogon.

hehe true dat. A'gon makes me sin... repeatedly.
I've decided (for now) I'm not going to biamp. Eventually when we get a bigger place I'm going to move to beefy tube monos... I think.

That was my thought. I've got a target price for a pair of Premier 12s. I see them come at that price about every 10 months (there are two pair in that range on agon right now but I already got speakers so no new toys for a while). I was thinking of using the 12s for the bass and the Premier 11 for the monitors. Then eventually going multi-channel with the 11 driving the rears and the 12s driving the fronts. That day might not come for a very long time but it still has me thinking about my wire purchase today.

Oh, man, an all-tubed HT would rock. I have been trying to figure out how to do this--my centre channel sounds like azz compared to my L/R, and part of it is because I power it with my Denon HT Receiver.
Definitely smart to plan--cable is so damn expensive I don't like to buy it more than once! ;D
