Connecting Klipsch Cornwall to Rotel RA-1062

I recently purchased a system.

Luxman SQ-N150 Amp
Luxman DA-250
Klipsch Cornwall IV
Bi-Amp speaker cables ( these were recommended but I am new to bi-amping/bi-wiring)

The amp is on back order so I am using my single Rotel RA1062 until it arrives. If I connect both speakers to A or both to B only one will have sound. A-Left and B-right. If I connect one speaker to A and one speaker to B I get sound but imaging is terrible. Does the bi-amp cable cause the need to use both A and B? I saw on another thread that the poles are reversed when bi-amping. I will try to switch that (assuming A and B are in effect two amps). 

Thanks,
Bill

The speaker cables have four connectors at the speaker end and two connectors at the amplifier end. If I connect both to A or Both to B on the amp only one speaker plays. 
I only get sound out of both if left is plugged to A on Amp and right is plugged to B on Amp.

So, the Rotel RA-1062 Amp I was using was faulty. I had only used it with headphones (long story) so was unaware the speaker connections were not working. The Audio store loaned me an Amp until my Luxman comes in and it works perfectly. 

That said, I love the way these threads take on a life of their own. Good stuff.
