Question - how to Bi-Wire

[admin_exported]

Hi, after a speaker and amp upgrade Im now in a position to try Bi-Wiring my speaker. Over the years I have collected many cables so the experiment wont cost me anything but time.

My Question is, my new speaker have 4 inputs (hence the abillity to Bi-Wire!). My amp (CA 740A) has 8 speaker outputs and the option to use speaker output A or B and A+B hope this makes sense. I assumed that in affect I wire each speaker twice i.e. amp left A to bottom connection on speaker and amp left B to top half of speaker connection (same on right speaker) then select amp output A+B.

I hope this is the right way to go??

the paperwork I got with the speakers (mezzo 2's)shows Bi-Wire but using the same output from the amp for both cables? I guess this is in case the amp only has one output

I dont think Im going to break anything using the amp function A + B?

Thanks in advance

With the CA 740A you can use both sets of terminals for each speaker set (L&R, A&B). Not sure I'm making sense. It saves cramming two speaker cables into one set of terminals like in the diagram. hope this helps. In other words your right.

No you won't break anything - just check and double check all connections before firing up the amp.
