Does Bi-amping double the power?

Hi guys,

I have a Marantz PM6005 (35w/ch) in the bedroom and I'm wondering if using the A and B speakers terminals to one set of speakers would increase the peak power to 70w/ch?

In the same vein - If hooked up to 2 sets of speaker, do both sets get 35w/ch or does that get split in half?

Thanks!

Bi-wiring does nothing significant to the power output. Usually those terminals are wired in parallel. Great if you have speakers in two different rooms, but they do not have "more" amplifier. They are just convenience terminals.

The driving electronics and limits are the same.
