Biwire Speaker Question

I have a Rotel 1080 Amp with 2 sets of Binding Post per Channel. Alot of biwire cables come with 2 wires on the amp side and 4 wires at the speaker. Is there any advantage to running 4 wires per channel out of the amp versus 2 or are they exactly the same? I would appreciate any advice before making the cable investment.

Thanks

Dear folks,

Two sets per each channel in the amplifier may have a different purpose and meaning such as speaker impedance ranges(I used to have Nikko Alpha amp where I have to choose the right combo of a binding posts for a specific speaker),
a capability of connecting more than one pair of a speakers(switchable or playable at the same time)...

Otherwise if it somehow may make difference in the speaker side on the amp side it's realy no difference.
