Bi-Wire


I am new to HT, so pardon me if this is dumb question.

What is the use of bi-wiring speaker cables? Are they only used if you have an amp that uses A and B Channels or if you Bi-Amp.

Let us say I have a regular recvr like an Onkyo 595 and I buy speakers that are bi-wirable, would I benefit by bi-wring them??

I want to B-wire it on the speakers side. So if I understand these posts.

The first cable will run from recvr Speaker(A) Left to the Left Speaker (which will be B-wired)

The second cable will run from recvr Speaker(B) Right to the Right Speaker (which will be B-wired).

A-Left-Recvr ----< Left Speaker
B-Right-Recvr ----< Right Speaker

Am I right???
Thanks evryone!

Ljgj: I think I fall into the second option that you had mentioned. I have only one set of speaker outs from each channel. I had the jumper on till yesterday (defeats the whole purpose of bi-wiring) but I am learning...
