I'm sure this has been asked a million times but I dind't have luck finding it with the search feature.

When bi-amping the RTi10, does one pair of wire terminals direct power only to the tweeter, or to both the tweeter and midrange? Would the second pair of terminals power the 2 woofers and midrange or just the woofer?

Thanks in advance!

    Generally on 3-way speakers, the top powers mids and tweeters and lower powers the woofers. On 2-ways, the top powers just the tweeters and the bottom powers the rest of the drivers.

    People will see more benifit from Bi-Amping a 3-way vs a 2-way.

    But I would get confirmation from someone else with RTi10's

    Yep, and I was absolutely shocked when my LSi15s were set up differently. One pair of binding posts went to the tweeter and the other went to the mids and woofer. Way to screw that one up, Polk. :p
