Unsound- I guess we all have different ideas of the semantics involved. If you go thru the various threads on this, you will see lots of confusion and if I contributed to it, I apologize. One way to perhaps differentiate is to call them internal or external bi-wiring. Internal, in my mind, is a single + & - at the amp end and separate + & - at the speaker end, one set for the woofer and one set for the mid/tweeter. External bi-wiring is two completely separate runs from the amp. Now they can be on the same amp binding posts, but that can be ergonomically difficult. Or each of the two separate sets of cables for each channel can originate from a separate set of binding posts which is easier to implement for the consumer and less likely to result in shorting across the amp's binding posts.
McCormack DNA-1 Rev A question
I was fortunate enough to have purchased a DNA-1 Dlx Rev A from a fellow Audiogoner. The amp that it replaced is a DNA-1 Deluxe. Yes, I am moving up the food chain, and boy does it taste good. The question I have is what is the purpose of having 2 sets of Cardas binding posts for right and left channel? I know this is a 2 channel amp. I just connected my speaker wires to the bottom set of posts. My original Deluxe only has 1 set of Cardas binding posts on the bottom and it looks like there are some screw type of binding post above that. I couldnt figure this out so I had to ask. Thanks for your responses
