Can a Magnepan 1.6 be BI AMPED?


Was wondering if anyone who owns the Mag 1.6 speakers knows if the speaker can be BI AMPEDped? I know it can be bi wired, but looking at the rear connection panel has me wondering if both terminals arent hard wired to the top terminal, allowing the two lower terminals to touch internally causing possible issues with bi amping.

Please dont respond the following receiver wont drive them, because I fully know it will. My concern is ONLY on bi amping on the speaker end. Ive bi amped so seriously hard to drive speakers and the Onkyo is more then up to the task. Specially considering I will be crossing the 1.6 over to ease the demands, and I only prefer a sub to do the grunt work. But for reference sake, here is my intentions with the Onkyo:

Im using a Onkyo nr906 right now on a pair off mmg's set to 4ohm, and they sound fantastic with a sub crossed over at 80hz. I have the ability to use the rear channels from the Onkyo in a bi amp configuration to drive a pair of 1.6's in bi amp config in a dual 4 ohm load. Should be 200 watts aprox to top and 200 watts aprox to bottom, and allow me to use the full potential of the nr906 if bi amping works in this speaker.

Thanks to anyone that has knowledge of if the 1.6 accepts bi amp config or just bi wire(which if they in fact touch internally to the top terminal, isnt worth bi wiring anyway, as its one big loop either way).

Here is a link that might answer some of your questions. Scroll down towards the bottom of the page for biamp info:

I wouldn't bypass the fuse/fuses in any speaker.Directly soldering the fuse will most likely ruin the fuse. Onkyo does not give a true 4 ohm power rating that I can find.It would have to say something like this,200 watts per channel into 4 ohms with all channels driven simultaneously.It doesn't even give a two channel rating at 20 to 20khz into 4 ohms.Who knows what the power is at 4 ohms. People on the net claim they are bi-amping. The fuse removal plus bi-amping was in this link provided by Mofimadness link.>>[http://www.integracoustics.com/MUG/MUG/tweaks/paco/]
They can be passively bi-amp...

If you are looking to actively bi-amp them, then you need to remove the crossover and use an external crossover (digital crossovers seems to be the way most people go).

Not certain, you'll gain that much when passively bi-amping them though...
