I would like to know how should I wire a pair of LSI15 to an Emotiva XPA-2. Should I wire them normally?
Or Bi-Wire?
Or Bi-Amp?
If I am going to biamp could I hook for instance, the left/right plugs from the amp to the LC speaker and then another left/right plugs from the AVReceiver(pioneer vsx-9040 110w per channel, capable for biamping) to the same LC speaker ?
My budget is $100 for wires.

Pre/Pro: Pioneer VSX-9040
Amp: Emotiva XPA-2

TV: Samsung PN50B550
DAC: soon-to-be EE Minimax Dac Plus

    Nvm. I have decided to not biwire but buy a quality pair of speaker cable instead.

    I bought a pair of brand new "AudioQuest Type 4" speaker cable from ebay for $89 based on some recommendation from folks here. My initial decision was to buy Emotiva X-series speaker cable but it was $140 for a pair.

    I should plug the speaker wire into the lsi15 on the top 2 inputs, or the bottom 2 inputs ?

    Thanks for reassuring me. I am coming from a pair of Infinity P362. Will the LSI15 blow me away ?
