BiAmping with K400?

I am owner of an older Exposure Pre- PowAmp combo.
These Amplifier need special loudspeaker cable: high
inductance & low capacitance

What I found in the Net is that Linn K20 / Naim NACA5 matches these
issues quite well: 16-20pF and 1-1,5mH per Meter

I will run my new Loudspeakers with BiAmping. I am thinking about using
Linn K400 for my System.
My understanding is that normaly back and forth direktion for one
channel is made through one of the twisted pairs.
one twisted pair for the mids/ highs.
one twisted pair for the bass.

I would like to ask you, if I can use K400 in an other direction:
Use the first twisted pair for the forth direction.
one cable for the mids/ highs.
one cable for the bass.

Use the second twisted pair for the back direction.
one cable for the mids/ highs.
one cable for the bass.

Did you have any experience in that direction?
Did I match these "high inductance & low capacitance"?
What are your recommendations?

Not heard of this before.

You are only talking about plugging and unplugging speaker cables so would be easy and quick to try.


If you want the very latest new thing...

try K200!!

This is K400 cut along its length. This was started (as I heard) by a Linn speaker designer experimenting. As well as making the cable much smaller and neater, as you can cut off the separator part in the middle, the biggest benefit is (apparently) audio clarity as the cables can be moved further apart resulting in less crosstalk.
 
Hi,

why don`t you use Exposure cables with your amps? I have made very good experiences with them.

Two smaller cables rather than one big one.

Improved quality if you separate them further than they were when joined.

Less space taken up if you have them next to each other.
 
the normal situation with k400 is, that back and forth for one channel is made by one twisted pair.
the normal k200 story is the same, beside cut along its length.

you mention that forth direction is done by one k200?
and back direction is done by one k200.
the solution is ala nva cable.

the question is what sq influence has a twisted pair cable?
