In the past, I have both bi-wired and used a single pair of wires (with jumpers) on the speaker end of things, no problem. I'm just confused about the additional binding posts on the power amp. Although @stereo5 suggests it's still bi-wiring, so the video holds true.
Bi-Wiring
Although the option to do so is there, I hadn't planned on bi-wiring my speakers, especially after watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McH2tlfj0vo
In the video it only speaks of bi-wiring on the speaker side (and a bit about bi-amping). But my amp has two sets of binding post for each channel as shown here: https://coda.cc/coda-no-8-amplifier
I have reached out to both my dealer and the manufacturer about this with no response as of yet, so I was looking to you all for what your thoughts are on this?
Will running 2 pairs of speaker wires to the 4 individual binding post do anything for me or would the info in the video still prevail? Thanks!

@carlsbad - interesting. I wonder how that would affect my warranty? Maybe in my case I could use 10awg jumper wires? |
@ghdprentice - I’m familiar with posting pictures but am just doing my homework at this point, components are still in their boxes, which consist of Coda 8 amp, Coda CB pre, Gustard R26 DAC/Steamer (sorry, no Aurender). Legacy Signature speakers arrive on Wednesday. Speaker placement will be limited as I do not have a dedicated listen room and the room itself completely sucks acoustically. Stock power cords and Blue Jeans interconnects and speaker cables, So, if all these thing mater more that bi-wiring, I’ll take your advice and save the money on that second set of speaker cables! Thanks. |
@jl35 - OK, thanks for a direct answer, that makes sense! |
OK then, for a single channel there are 4 binding posts on the speaker and 4 corresponding binding posts on each speaker. Keeping the phase in check, does it matter, or make a difference on which of the binding post use on the amp to correspond to the binding post on the speaker Or is it just common sense upper to upper and lower to lower? |
@jl35 - OK, thanks! |
@newbee - "Many years ago I did play with the different types of cables to see if I could change the tone of my system" What were your results? |
@newbee - Thank you. With 6’ leads I’m only running 12 awg, I’d like to try your suggestion of the Mogami but if I’m bi-wiring at 6’ is 10 awg overkill? |
@holmz - lol! - Thanks. I think I'll give BW a shot. |
@waytoomuchstuff - bi, sexy & wire all in one sentence, wow! @jl35 - I'm thinking now against bi-wiring, do you have a link as to where to purchase the DEJs? Thx

@richdirector - I have a Coda #8 and I'm presuming the speaker outputs are in parallel as well. |
