Biwiring - integrated amp with two ouputs - try it?

Sorry for my bad descriptor. I have an integrated amp with bi-wireable outputs..... So (4) pairs of speaker outputs. Is there most likely going to be a sonic benefit to bi-wiring my speakers with two sets of speaker cable?
I will try it, but in most instances, is there an audible difference when bi-wiring from one amp? My integrated is the Plinius 9200 and the speakers are Paradigm Signature S4's.
Thanks for any ideas. I'm sure it's been addressed before, but I had to ask!

I doubt you will hear much of a difference.
Now if you are still using the stock jumpers (most likely brass plates) on the speakers you might find a improvement from removing them.
This could also be accomplished by building a short jumper from the same speaker cables you are currently using. More than likely a cheaper solution than Bi-Wires.2 Channel Rosso Fiorentino Volterra II, 2 REL Carbon Limited, Norma Revo IPA-140B, Lumin U2 Mini, VPI Prime w/SoundSmith Zephyr MIMC, Modwright PH 150, Denon DP-59l w/Denon DL-301MKII, WAY Silver 3 Ana+ Speaker Cables, WAY Silver 4+ Interconnect Cables, AudioQuest Niagara 7000 w/Dragon and Hurricane Power Cables -
i have never heard a difference when i played with bi wire a while back.., some people say they can hear a difference.
it cant hurt to try it and see what you thinkCambridge Azur 651A

thanks for all your responses. from what i have found online, bi wiring seems like a unworthy way to spend time. thanks for the help, again.

If you have 2 sets you can try it?
My Vincent has to 2 sets of speaker output and they are always on. it doesnt have a A/B switch or anything and I once hooked up two sets of my DIY Furez cables for fun.
or if you had some 4 conductor cable like Canare or furez makes then you can make what some can biamp cable ( though this isnt really biamping cause it just using both outputs of my 1 stereo amplifier) with 2 sets of speaker connectors at both end. but i think you'd find it would not be worth the cost of all the banana plug's needed to try it.2 ch- Polk CRS+ * Vincent SA-31MK Preamp * Vincent Sp-331 Amp * Marantz SA8005 SACD * Project Xperience Classic TT * Sumiko Blue Point #2 MC cartridge
