What's the sonic advantage of bi-wiring
Okay, fine. Same question though. However, how many hi-end speakers can you name with that capability 40 years ago? I'm aware of all of them and none had it. Dual posts only came into the picture when bi-amping mods were on the table.

OH YEAH!! Great. I love a good fight:) Hey! Just a second here. I know what you're up to! 10%, don't forget. 
What's the sonic advantage of bi-wiring
Are you sure those dual/jumpered posts aren't there mainly for bi-amping, bi-wiring merely an incidental afterthought? Bi-wiring is a relatively recent practice. Bi-amping is not. Adequate guage is what matters. Where are the dual posts when you c...

Classe CA-100 stereo vs bridged
Okay, I'm confused(nothing unusual). What does having to reduce my volume control have anything to do with sensitivity when the amp is now producing, real world, probably three times as much power at the same setting? Won't an amp making three tim... 
Is soundstage just a distortion?
Looking forward to receiving mine:) And the others too!Thanks, Rodman.BTW, I was going to word it a little differently, Al;) You certainly didn't take the words out of my mouth. 
Is soundstage just a distortion?
