Bi Amp JM Lab 936's

I just bought a pair of 936's. I've got 2 Parasound HCA 1200II's. I wasnt totaly thrilled to hear them with the Parasound amps bridged in mono. Would it be better to run only one amp in stereo? Or would it be wise to get a Y adaptor and run two amps in stereo, one to the top end and one to the bottom end?

Bi-wire. If done properly it is more beneficial than bi-amping. The best way to bi-wire is with separate wires (not bundled with bi-wire tails). I have 8 wires connecting the speakers.

Do NOT use jumpers and do NOT use bananas. Both ruin the sound. If you do not follow my suggestion for bi-wiring, there will be no benefit. You must have seperate wires for it to work properly. For a thorough explanation go to Vandersteen.com. Richard explains it there.

These pages are open for anyone to offer any advice, both good and bad - both in the quest of friendship, and also to be mean spirited. I stand by my statement as I posted above. I also encourage you to drop by the Vandersteen website as I said above for a more complete explanation. Richard Vandersteen himself gave me this advice and I find it to be true.
