Bi Wire Question

Hello
I would like to Bi Wire a set of Mirage 595is to a NAD 7020 Receiver.

The Receiver has 2 sets of terminals.
I assume I can use both A and B sets?

If so.....from the A section on Receiver say left channel....a run from receiver + to high pass + on speaker and from receiver - to lhigh pass - on speaker? Same for right. 

And from B section on receiver the same as above but will be going into low pass of speaker?

Thanks!

If you are looking for more power, get a more powerful amp (or very efficient loudspeakers). Doing what you are suggesting is not going to give you the results you are looking for.

"...Did I say I was looking for more power?..."

No, you didn't, nor did you tell us the reason you want to use bi-wire and both taps. I was just guessing. Still am. 
If you run both taps on most receivers, it will run the amp at half the impedance. Probably not a good idea on an old amp. There is really no need and you will not get any benefit out of it. The other thing to consider is that a better single run of cable will sound better than two runs of a lessor cable. I hope something I said helps but I'm still in the dark.
