How Do I Get The Best Sound?

EFW

I have an Onkyo TX-SR703 pushing my Polk's which consist of:
2-Polk Monitor 70's (Front)
2-Polk Monitor 40's (Rear)
1-Polk CS2 (Center)
1-Polk PSW 12 (Power Sub)
I curently have the two front speakers running through the Sub, with the center and rear coming off of the AVR. Is this the best way to get the best sound? Or should everything come off of the AVR? Also I am consicering Bi-Wiring the Monitor 70's (Front). Is this a good move? If so how do I go about doing it? Any information or links to information on the above subjects would be helpful thanks...............Polk Rookie:cool:

You have a choice for wiring your fronts through the Polk sub speaker input or directly from each channel with speaker wire and use the LFE output on your receiver to the sub with the RCA cable. You must experiment with both to determine what works best for you.

I would not worry about biwiring, just use heavy enough speaker wire (14 gauge or thicker).

I would wire everything off your AVR and call it good. I find that usually gives the best results.. and it is the easiest to set up too.

If you connect using the lfe output from your receiver to the subwoofer. There are some functions in your receiver you can play with: eq, distance, bass boost
