Bi-Wiring Center as a left and right


I am looking at buying a center speaker that supports bi-wiring. I was curious if since it supports bi-wiring if I could wire one part to the left and one to the right to have it play both left and right sounds?

Bad idea.

If you want L-C-R or L-R to the center, get a quality passive soundbar such as one of the two GoldenEar SuperCinema 3D models (http://www.goldenear.com/products/supercinema3d) and connect the amplifier outputs to the appropriate soundbar inputs. I’ve heard it and it’s really good, esp. if you add a GoldenEar sub.

Doing it the way you propose will give you a very unsatisfactrory sound--low frequencies from one channel and high frequencies to the other sent to the center. Depending on the sound mix of the source, it may work OK on some shows but be unintelligible on others.
