New Rotel RB 1090

right now i have single cable terminated with bananas. my amp has 2 sets of terminals per channel and my Rti A9s have 2 terminals as well. (bridged as of right now like they come from the factory)

question is what speaker cables do i use. bi-wire, bi-amp, dont fu(k with it just use the single cable you have. sorry kinda new to this cable speaker selection.

also should i ditch the brass connectors and use wire instead? if i stay with single wires

any help GREATLY appreciated!!!

    Bi-amp, but I'd leave it single. Tried bi-wire/bi-amp and it didn't warrant the $200 I paid for the cables.
    If you have another set of cables(single) you can use those to bi-amp you speakers and see if you hear a difference.
