How to connect bi-wire speakers


I have a pair of Sonus-Fabre Guarneri speakers, they are available for bi-wire, and using a pair Silversmith speaker cables and Audioquest Everest jumper. Should I connect both speaker cables to the bass drivers or positive speaker cable for bass driver and the negative for tweeter? please comment. also is the gold binding post for positive and the silver binding post for negative?

"If the cable is not a bi-wire, you should place your jumper between the negative and positive terminals of either the tweeter or woofer. It doesn't make any difference which ones are jumpered, just be sure to place the jumpers on the same "type" of terminals (tweeter or woofer)."

NO-o-o-o-o-o!

Speaker cable either to tweeter terminals (+/-) OR to woofer terminals (+/-) OR to one tweeter terminal (+/-) AND one woofer terminal (opposing leg of +/- from that of tweeter terminal).

After you have sorted out this six-and-one-half-dozen scenario connect the jumpers to tweeter/woofer terminals (+/+) AND tweeter/woofer terminals (-/-).

Otherwise you may have smoke coming from the amp and no sound (with the exception of small exploding sounds).

Good luck!
