correct way to bi-wire?


I have a Yamaha AV receiver and B&W 602 speakers. The guy at the store told me to bi-wire them by wiring them the normal way(4wires)at the speaker but twist the 2 positives together and plug that into the amp(same for negative). So I have 4 ends at the speaker and 2 ends at the receiver for each channel.
The B&W website says that I should use my A/B switch and make my tweeters 'A' and my midrange 'B'.
Which do you think is better?
Will my power(watts) be the same for each case?

One point to consider is if both the A and the B terminals are wired the same. On my amp the red connector is positive on one set of terminals, and negative on the other. (However, the electrical positive on both sets is marked clearly, if I recall right). This is easy to correct, but only if you know what's what. I don't know what Yamaha does--my arrangement is probably rare--but it's always a good idea to check before assuming anything.
