Connecting Klipsch Cornwall to Rotel RA-1062

I recently purchased a system.

Luxman SQ-N150 Amp
Luxman DA-250
Klipsch Cornwall IV
Bi-Amp speaker cables ( these were recommended but I am new to bi-amping/bi-wiring)

The amp is on back order so I am using my single Rotel RA1062 until it arrives. If I connect both speakers to A or both to B only one will have sound. A-Left and B-right. If I connect one speaker to A and one speaker to B I get sound but imaging is terrible. Does the bi-amp cable cause the need to use both A and B? I saw on another thread that the poles are reversed when bi-amping. I will try to switch that (assuming A and B are in effect two amps). 

Thanks,
Bill

If your speaker cables terminate with four individual connectors at the amplifier end, Connect the HF speaker cables to the appropriate left/right channel of channel “A” on the amp.  Connect the LF speaker cables to the appropriate left/right channel of channel “B” on the amp.

More common are biwired speaker cables that combine to just two connectors, plus and minus at the amplifier end.  In this case, both speakers can be powered by channel “A” .
