I know that this topic has been covered to death and it seems that Bi Wiring offers no sonic improvement. The guys here say so, Wikipedia says so and most hi end manufactures seem to include it because they must.

However, intuitively, Bi Wiring should be a vast improvement (IMO).
The aim of hi end audio is to deliver a clean electrical signal path from the source to speaker. The amp and speaker is linked with one of the longest & heaviest wires that runs into meters.
A Bi Wired speaker has twice the cable AREA (m2) running between, hence the overall electrical resistance should be lower that of a single wire by a factor of the square-root.  If I recall my Std. 9 physics, electrical resistance decreases with increasing cable thickness due to the area - not so ?

Electrical resistance is a major factor to overcome for clean signal reproduction - so from this perspective, is a bi wired speaker seeing less resistance between the amp and speaker, and should it not sound better ?
