Craig (Garfish) is correct that bi-wiring makes little sense if your speakers have only one set of binding posts. The advantage of bi-wiring your speakers will NOT be realized unless the speaker has two internal crossovers to provide a separate signal to the mid/high frequency drivers, and another to the bass/low frequency driver. The two signals your amp will send to the speaker will simply be combined at the speaker's crossover. There is even a chance that you may degrade the sound, since using the set of bi-wires will simply increase the capacitance that the signal sees.
Wiring two post speakers with biwire cable
I have speakers with one pair of binding posts each. My amp has four binding posts for each channel (biwiring capable).
I have a set of biwire cables (one end has two terminations, + and -, the other end has four, two + and two -).
Is is safe to connect all four terminations at the end of this cable to the two posts on each speaker, or should I leave one set of + and - unconnected? What if I connected the four termination end to the amp and the two termination end to the speaker?
I don't want to run into any problems with running cables in parallel, messing with impedance, etc. Thanks.
