Thanks for the info. It's good to know that I am not along doing this. I had some difficulties inserting 2 12awg bare wires into the same speaker connector, that's why I use this scheme. BTW, the McIntosh MA6450 works *very well* with my Tannoy Definition D500; tight bass and the 3-D sound stage is incredible. I listen to music for a long time while grading exam papers and never feel tired. Thanks.
Bi-wiring using both speaker 1 and 2 outputs
I have a McIntosh MA6450 integrated amp. The amp supports two pairs of speakers and allows both pairs to be on at the same time. Currently, I am using this feature for bi-wiring purpose. That is, I connect one pair of cables from "speaker 1" to the low-frequency posts and another pair of cables from "speaker 2" to the hi-frequency posts. It works fine. Are there any protential problems with this kind of wiring?
