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!

Better to get the right cables and speakers with terminals that have adequate capacity.

Two is not always better than one.

I could say that with bi-wiring the electrons get confused and can't decide which wire to go down, causing timing error.  Some would probably believe me.

OK then, for a single channel there are 4 binding posts on the speaker and 4 corresponding binding posts on each speaker. Keeping the phase in check, does it matter, or make a difference on which of the binding post use on the amp to correspond to the binding post on the speaker Or is it just common sense upper to upper and lower to lower?

I've been bi-wiring with a double run for many years, and the second set of binding posts really does make connecting much easier...my current amp is the first time I've had this feature...
