If your speakers can be biwired or
biamped, they will have completely
separate input terminals for the woofer
section and the upper range. See the

The front channels of the Theater
Grand Amplifier each have two pairs
of outputs which can be used to biwire
your speakers. The idea is to use the
voltage source to drive the woofer,
and the current source to drive the
upper range. This will offer improved
performance and still allow you to con-
