Quick 1.2TL bi-wire question

Hey guys, I was just double checking to see if I needed the A-1 cable if I want to use two NAD 218 amps to power the SDA 1.2TL's... one for the highs and one for the lows using RCA splitters.
I didn't think I did but I just wanted to make sure in case I was wrong.

Any advice on this is greatly welcomed.

    You'll be fine as long as the amp used for the lows is common ground.

    Luckily we did remember to remove those, thanks though.:)
    So far the clarity is very apparent and it sounds really good! We are still working on placement with the speakers and subwoofer to get better bass response... side walls, back walls, and distance between all being taken into consideration of course.
    Who knows, could just be the recordings we have listened to so far.

    Just got everything set for the bi-wire project including bass adjustment on the 1.2TL's and it is VERY impressive... these NAD 218 THX amps really put out some great power.

    Some day we I would love to try an extremely high current/ quality power amp to see the difference but for now there are no complaints and look forward to future mods!

    thanks all for the input...

    I remember first bi-wiring and finally bi-amping my 1.2's and what an improvement it made. Enjoy! I was an NAD dealer back in the day and sold a few of those amps - none ever had problems.
