Hi, just want to get some information about bi-wiring an old bose bookshelf speakers? How can I know if a speaker is capable of such a sophisticated set up.
Also, do I need to have an amp to bi-wire my speakers or can I use my pre-amp receivers?
Thank you for your kind response :)

Is Bi-wire for new speakers only?

Bi-Wire requires 2 sets of speaker terminals. (On the speaker) and binding post on the receiver
To bi-wire on a receiver, you would mainly need binding post terminals, unless you can tell me a way your going to shove 2 sets of speaker wire in that small hole. You mainly can run 2 sets of wire, one to the top post, one to the bottum post, and then do one set at one end with banana plugs - and put it straight into the terminal, and then stick bare wire into the slot in the terminal. That is the cheap way, or you could buy a bi-wire cable which isnt cheap. You can also BI-AMP, which requires 2 amps, you run one set of wires to one amp, and another set of wires to another amp. You can use a 2 channel amp to bi-amp one speaker I suppose.
Biwire/amp is not only for new speakers, many old speakers like the SDA SRS 1.2tl's and such if im not mistaken had this feature.
Bose...bleh....why do you own bose? ;)Last edited by VR3; 07-09-2003 at 07:25 AM.

Actually, don't wire it up like that picture...the picture is wrong...
The white should go to both reds, and the black should go to both black...
I don't recommend hooking it up like the picture illustrates...

and the receiver side, notice the colors, blacks twisted together, reds twisted together, substitute the colors for what ever color your wire is......
