Fried Amp & Bi-Wiring

I just fried my Hafler amp last night (fortunately i was going to upgrade anyway). I think this happened because I was attempting to bi-wire with only 2 posts/channel on the amp and I believve the + & - crossed. However, I am not sure and do not want this to happen with a fancy new amp. I would like to continue to bi - wire though, and may look specifically for an amp with 4 posts/channel. Thoughts ??

Thanks !

I got real worried about my posts being too close together so I added a bit of electricians tape around the two closest +/-
posts.

I have had too many contacts slip off over the years and then there is the maid or someone bumping a wire and we on occasion have small children in the house and my system attracts them to it as much as the Birthday Cake does.
