I was wondering if there'd be an Axiom guy commenting on this. Pretty much exactly what we've heard from Ian in our conference calls...

You're discussing bi-amping in those calls?

You don't want to be the guy to use THAT phone last.

What exactly is happening when you do use the 2 sets of wires and switch the "Speaker C" button on the back of the Marantz to "biamp"? Is it just like using a really big gauge wire to send the same signal to the speaker? And why must that bridge be removed between the posts? (If you guys dont shoot me for all these amateur questions now you never will!)

Not exactly. If you were biwiring but leaving the bridge on, you're using a big wire. That's what I do, just for the hell of it.

However, on the Marantz, you're actually using two electrically separate signal generators. So if you leave the strap on, you're routing signal from one amp into the other and vice versa. Then you get magic smoke.
