Well I have read here of people bi-amping, bi-wiring and I think I understand why, but my question is this: -

I have the Marantz PM6002 with 2 sets of speaker outputs (2 L and 2 R), I also have the B&W 685s with 2 sets of inputs... you can see where I am going with this... Can I connect them?

PM6002, Outputs set 1 8-16 ohms, set 2 8-16 ohms and if both sets on 4-16 ohms

B&W 685, 8 ohms with a min 3.7 ohms

You can usually use both outputs, to be honest it's more for convenience than any gain in sound quality. For a bi-wire set-up you could connect 2 "+" wires together and 2 "-" wires together from each speaker and use 1 L & R output on your amp, at the speaker end connect the four wires seperately to each binding post obviously connecting + & - correctly.

Some people find bi-wiring beneficial some don't, only you can decide whether it works in your system.

In theory if the cables are top notch it shouldn't make any difference at all.

This of cause ignores the theory that biwiring works by reducing the modulation between the tweeter and the woofer.

I personally prefer using one run of more expensive cable. Rather than buy 2 runs of cable to each speaker at say £10/meter buy one run per speaker at £20/meter. I have found the gains to be better this way.
