If you are looking for more power, get a more powerful amp (or very efficient loudspeakers). Doing what you are suggesting is not going to give you the results you are looking for.
Bi Wire Question
Hello
I would like to Bi Wire a set of Mirage 595is to a NAD 7020 Receiver.
The Receiver has 2 sets of terminals.
I assume I can use both A and B sets?
If so.....from the A section on Receiver say left channel....a run from receiver + to high pass + on speaker and from receiver - to lhigh pass - on speaker? Same for right.
And from B section on receiver the same as above but will be going into low pass of speaker?
Thanks!

"...Did I say I was looking for more power?..." No, you didn't, nor did you tell us the reason you want to use bi-wire and both taps. I was just guessing. Still am. If you run both taps on most receivers, it will run the amp at half the impedance. Probably not a good idea on an old amp. There is really no need and you will not get any benefit out of it. The other thing to consider is that a better single run of cable will sound better than two runs of a lessor cable. I hope something I said helps but I'm still in the dark. |
So bi wiring.....no benefit? https://www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/speaker-bi-wiring-bi-amping-explained/ |
I assume I can use both A and B sets?Yes, you can use both A and B. The speakers selector on your NAD 7020 Receiver will works as a jumper, you need to switch the speakers selector to A+B. |
If your adding two amps sources to your speakers, make sure you remove the jumpers from the speakers, ay. I know it something you thought of. BUT some folks forget and leave the jumper in. It is ok if you Bi-wire, but not if you Bi-amp.. That can cause a problem.. I'm guessing that's what your doing.. In any case the heavier of the two cables use that for the bass section.. Enjoy .. |
