Bi wire denon pm520ae

[Em_morrie]

Hi, I have recently bought a denon pm520ae and I have wharfedale speakers. I was just wondering if you can bi wire the amp as you can bi wire the speakers? I'm totally new to this so any help would be great!

Thanks!

To bi-wire speakers you will usually have the following configuration - each speaker cable will have four wires - lets say red, black, green and purple. If the red and green wires are connected to the red posts on the speaker, the red and green wires will be joined together at the amp end to make a single connection to the amps red post. And likewise the black and purple wires will connect individually to the black posts on the speaker, but will be joined together the amp end to make a single connection to the amps black post. So in summary, at the amp end the four wires are joined in pairs, at the speaker end the four wires are individual.

Nicely explained.

However you failed to point out that, bi-wiring, will make absolutely no difference to the percieved sound quality.

To the OP. If you need to buy new speaker cable, get some decent thick OFC copper cables, Van Damme perhaps.

Biwiring makes little difference IMO, in fact it can introduce phase problems, so I recommend not bothering, make sure the links between the speaker terminals are decent cable. I agree about Van Damme speaker cable, about £4 pm for OFC 4mm.

Clearly a lack of moral fibre......*diablo*

But then, Mrs DDC bought me a wooden spoon for Xmas.

The best links are the flat plates that your speaker was (probably) supplied with. If you have lost these, then good thick cable is an acceptable second best.

Lol....

If bi-wiring makes no difference what difference will using flat plates or wire make?

And how will it affect phase?

You get sound from both drivers at the same time.
