To bi-wire your speakers, separate cables are used to
connect the mid/high-frequency speaker driver (tweeter)
and the low-frequency driver (woofer) on each bi-
wireable speaker to the amplifier. Running separate
cables from the amplifier can have a profound impact on
relieving the tweeter circuit from the back flush of EMF
(electromotive force) generated by the woofer's voice
coil, resulting in less interference between HF and LF
ranges and better sound quality.
You need to use speakers that feature two sets of
terminals (total of four) that allow each speaker to be split
into two sections (low-frequency and mid/high-frequency
ranges).
