I used to think there was no difference in bi-wiring and single wiring, until I bought a pair of apogee duetta 2 speakers and it made a pretty substantial difference. I think bi-wiring making a positive difference depends on the speakers used and the type of wire for each run.
Bi-Wiring
Although the option to do so is there, I hadn't planned on bi-wiring my speakers, especially after watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McH2tlfj0vo
In the video it only speaks of bi-wiring on the speaker side (and a bit about bi-amping). But my amp has two sets of binding post for each channel as shown here: https://coda.cc/coda-no-8-amplifier
I have reached out to both my dealer and the manufacturer about this with no response as of yet, so I was looking to you all for what your thoughts are on this?
Will running 2 pairs of speaker wires to the 4 individual binding post do anything for me or would the info in the video still prevail? Thanks!

@jasonbourne52 you don't necessarily need an active crossover to split the signal before the amplifiers when bi-amping, there are passive line level crossovers as well. |
For me whenever I have tried bi-wirng having 2 sets of bindings posts on your amp makes things a bit easier particularly if you hardwire (not using banana plugs or spades). In my experience what I have found is that a single run of a good cable using the same cable as jumpers on your speakers, outperforms actually bi-wirng with a lesser cables. |
