Hi just picked up another carver tfm24 off of ebay.What is the best way to run my two amps?Should I run one per each channel or Bi apm to the high and low cross overs?I am using these amps on my 3.1TLs and I do have the A1 cable and am using audioquest type 4 biwired.

    Since you have the AI-1 cable, why not try both to see which one will sound better to you?

    You can put me in the bridge them and run-em mono camp. Lots of power, raw, beefy, in your face power.

    what connectors do you use for the bridged mode from my pre amp? Is it just a y connector going to both amps and if so what is the best one to use with my audioquest diamonbacks?

    Agree with RT, bridging for "power" makes much more improvement than vertical bi-amping, in my own personal experience. Vertical bi-amping only really shines when you go out-board crossover networks and the whole enchilada, an expensive proposition, which even then has pretty subtle improvement given the investment.
