    My first AV system

    Only helps a little. The bi wire thing I am guessing is no for first part, what about second part. Subwoofer was provided and was hoping someone would know if it is possible with that exact model, or all computer speakers. For speaker wire is bigger and thicker better? Anyone else willing to...
