Bi-wiring your speakers

This high quality but difficult method of wiring speakers will be unnecessary for most users. In order to do this your speakers must be bi-wireable (that is they must have separate terminals for the high and low frequencies).

To bi-wire a speaker, connect two sets of speaker cords to each speaker terminal on the receiver. The easiest way to do this is to connect one wire in the normal way, and use a banana plug for the other one. Make sure you use a parallel (not series) connection when doing so. Don't connect different speakers from the same terminal in this way.
