Best way to wire Speakers from mc501 amps

I'm new to this hobby, I just bought a ca2300 pre and 2 mc501 amps. I cannot up grade my speakers for about a year and currently have linn 5140 speakers.

I do not understand how to wire them, which post do I connect them to on the amps and should I bi wire and if so how should I do it and what speaker wire should I get?. Thanks in advance for any help

I would find out what the OHM rating is for the Linn and connect it to the 2,4,or 8 ohm connection which ever is closest. As far as the Bi wire I would either use jumpers , shot gun them from the same connection on the C501 or call your Linn dealer for his recommendation.
Did you mean C2300 not a ca2300? The C2300 and the 501's should sound very good with just about speakers when you upgrade. But for now the Linns should come alive what did you replace?
