Bi-Wiring Speakers Question

[Jeff1960]

Hello friends,

Can you just add jumpers from the original speaker wire to connect to the second set of terminals or do you have to run 2 independent sets of wires? The only reason I ask is, all my original wires are buried in the trim work of my home and I would have to redo all that trim to run a second set of wires. I have just purchased Bower & Wilkins 707 Bookshelf and center and connecting to a Denon 4400 receiver.

Thank you,

Jeff

"There are 2 linked pairs of terminals on the back of the speaker. For conventional connection, the terminal links should remain in place (as delivered) and just one pair of terminals connected to the amplifier"

If the links are missing then just strip enough insulation off the end of each conductor so you can run the wire from one terminal to the other, This is neater than making a jumper from a bit of speaker wire.
