    Yeah, you can do that. I've got a set of MIT bi-wires hooked up to 2BTL's at my dad's house, no issues.

    I used to sell Focal.EXCELLENT loudspeakers that!
    Polks will get you a good portion of what the Focals offer for a lot less money. However admittedly Polk is not in the same league. I just CANNOT let go of my dearly beloved SDA sound. Outside of Carver Sonic Holograms there just ain't nothing like it out there!

    Haven't gone through too much. Had my lsi set up for 4 years. The lsim's only for a year. Going on 5 with my sunfire. As for cables I have tried quite a few over the past few years. I've found Nordost a good pairing with focal. Adds to the detail. I will probably end up keeping the shot gun s1's and a pair of magnums. Thin the heard a bit.
