4. Basic-wire Connections to Speakers
B&W 804D3 have speaker wire connections to allow for bi-amplification or bi-wiring.
Connection of a basic audio system where there is only one connection from the
amplifier is very simple and is shown in Figure: 4. Connect the speakers using the
regular left and right speaker wire connections and ignore the second set of terminals.
B&W speakers are shipped with Terminal Links connecting the two sets of terminals
that allow the speaker to be connected as a traditional loudspeaker.
