2 Questions

1. I have bi-amp or bi-wiring capability, but If I choose to keep it normal. Were do I hook up the main speakers, it says low or high frequency?

2. Also if I decide to biwire from my B channel on my amp, would my amp be good enough for me to hear a difference. I have a Yamaha RXV 596 100 for the front 3 and 70 a piece for the rears?

    1. Not knowing what speakers you have I'm still going to suggest you connect the cables to the bottom terminals and leave the jumpers in place.

    2. No.



    1 Suggestion

    1. Forget bi-wiring, get the best speakers cables you can afford and replace the stock jumpers with short lengths of the same cable.

    They are rt16. It says High or Low, but the jumper is in place so I dont think it matters if it goes on one or the other. Mine has been on low for years.

    with the jumpers in place. it does not matter if you use the upper or lower. no difference in sound quality at all until you remove the jumpers and go bi wire or bi amp. leave them in place and take F1nuts suggestion and get the best speaker cables/wires you can.

    Most receivers will cut the rated output in half when both A & B speakers are selected. Probably not what you want.
