Double sets of speaker binding posts on Krell ?


I bought a Krell FPB300 amp recently,unfortunately without manual.

What are double sets(TWO pairs) of speaker binding posts for? Bi-wire?

If so,I can use TWO PAIRS of speaker cables ,connected to EACH PAIR of binding posts,for driving LOW and MID-HIGH
respectively?
Or,I should buy ONE PAIR of bi-wired speaker cables,just connecting to ONE PAIR of binding posts on Krell?

Probably simple question for you experienced Krell users.
Thank you in advance!

Yes - the dual sets of output terminals are connected in
parallel to the SAME output transistors in the amp.

The dual sets of output terminals are for ease in bi-wiring.

Krell has made the bi-wiring easier for you. Not every
speaker cable is available as a bi-wire set with a single
pair of connectors at the amp end and a dual pair at the
speaker end.

If your favorite cables are not available in biwire - it's
often tricky trying to get two spade lugs on a single amp
terminal. Krell gives you a terminal for each spade.

You also have the flexibility to use different cable runs
for high and low frequency if you so desire.

Krell gives you a lot of flexibility for the cost of an
extra set of amp terminals.
