    Default help for wiring speakers

    Hi,
    I am a newbie at this so please help. I have the Tsi 500s and it has 4 binding posts. Do I need to wire the 4 posts with a jumper or biwire it to get the best possible sound. Some say the first binding post is for the tweeter. Any information on it would be helpful and also any directions that I need to follow to bi-wire it would be great.
    thanks,

    If you biwire meaning you will use all 4 binding posts, you most take out the jumpers connecting the 2 sets of binding post, if you use a single speaker cable then keep the jumper in place.

    Biwire might and might not have any impact on your system, This is something you must decide on your own having you listening to your own speakers with your own equipment.

    Note:
    You can exploit this advantage by using oxygen-free cables and the sound will be very satisfactory.

    You can also buy, bi wire speaker cables. They will have 2 terminations on the amp end and 4 on the speaker end. Shown here from Signal Cable.
