bi-wiring offers the opportunity to allow the specifically assigned drivers to draw current through separate sets of wires, instead of all of the current through one set. it also allows ya to sleep at night knowing you're using the full capability of your biwireable speakers.
to test jostler3's contention on a set of biwireable speakers, remove the conducting straps linking the two sets of terminals then connect speaker cables to either set of terminals. if the speaker still plays full range, then he's right you've been had. if not, you can certainly expect the dedicated high and low frequency sections to only pull the current they require. sure the signal is full range but the current demands of the high and low frequency sections are quite different and will only flow thru the speaker cables to which they are attached. try it you'll like it.
