Another newbie question...this time its the sub

I have RTi10's as my main front speakers and a PSW404 subwoofer. I am using a Denon 2805 receiver. Right now I've got the sub connected to the receiver's sub out. The fronts are set as "Large" on the receiver and the crossover frequency is set at 80Hz. In addition, this receiver has a "subwoofer mode" setting which can be either LFE or LFE+Main. Right now I've got it set at LFE+Main. As of late I've been reading all kinds of stuff on this forum and there seems to be a school of thought that the subwoofer should be connected to the "main" outputs instead of the "sub" output. Should I be doing this instead?
Oh and another question before I forget. My receiver has A and B outputs for the mains. Could I use these to "bi-wire" the RTi10's? Thanks for all the info.

No you want the sub out on the receiver !! do not use the in line speakers on the sub !!! you may want ot play with the large and small setting on the receiver for your mains...bi-wire.....hmm most peps will say not worth the xtra $$ for cables but try it if you want, you are better off upgrading the jumpers if anything

From what I understand with the Denon if you have it set up as LFE+Main it will send the full signal to the mains and also the LFE to the sub. You should be getting the same effect as using the preouts. Except you would be using the subs vs the receivers crossover.
As for the Biwire question for you "Speaker B" even if you can use it, I do not believe that you can set the speaker distance on the "B's" so the timing will be off.
How do you like the 2805? I was thinking of replacing the Onkyo in my #2 system.
