For amps and speakers with two sets of bindings posts per channel, which would be better:

- 1 pair of $10K bi-wire speaker cable, or
- 1 pair of $10K speaker cable with matching jumpers, or
- 2 pairs of $5k speaker cable.

For example, one pair of Shunyata Sigma v2 vs. two pairs of Alpha v2's. Or 1 pair AudioQuest Firebird vs. 2 pairs Thunderbird.

Usually, the two pair solution has more wire gauge. And you'll isolate the lows from the mids and highs in separate cables. Will these benefits make up for the "magic" a cable twice the price can deliver?

P.S. In my market there's no real opportunities to test this out myself. So I hope others have experienced the differences.
