Quick bi-wire question

I'm pretty sure that using A and B speaker outputs to biwire a single stereo pair of speakers is not right. Others with more technical knowledge than me can explain, but I would certainly go with either a single biwire set up from one set of outputs as you described, or running dual (aka shotgun )biwire off of single set of outputs.

I own a Creek 5350SE. It has A+B speaker selector switch, I use 4 seperate runs of Kimber 4TC. I contacted Creek Audio and they recommend biwiring this way.

I even asked which was better:
A to one speaker, B to the other
or
A to treble, B to bass.

The answer was "makes no difference either way".


Cheers.

Hi Matty...

There's no need to run a biwired set off of more than one set of terminals, unless your cables are so bulky that the extra space and finger room helps you; or if you have two separate pairs of cable already that you don't want reterminated into a single biwired pair at the amp end.

Turning on both A & B sets just makes a simple connection inside. I'd rather have the cables just joined together, as it would likely be a higher quality way of joining the two for biwiring than the amp's internal wiring might give.
