Bi Wiring for speakers question

I've done some research on bi wiring speakers and have noted that some people are apparently using a speaker cable with 4 banana connectors on one end but only 2 on the other end.  I'm guessing that the side with 2 banana's is connected to the Amp or Receiver and the side with 4 to the speakers.

Anyone tried this and does it work as well as using 4 connectors on each side?  Seems to me that using all four speaker outputs on the amp is the right way to do it but if it will work with just one pair of speaker outputs then who am I to judge?

Buying 4 separate cables would be the best way, in my opinion.
AQ cables are awesome. I too have the GO -4. Great value for the money.
Is there a reason for using the banana's instead of spades?

Spades don't fit my Castle Conway 3 Speakers nor my Mirage OM 10 speakers.  Go figure.  Tried them but they will not fit.

They do make "extra wide" spades Will, if you must have them. :)

yup.  Bought those Erik.  They didn't work with either pair and neither did the regular size.  Not sure why but I am not going to try to force them into the connectors.
