Two pairs of high quality five-way binding posts are provided on each
channel of the integrated amplifier, in order to facilitate bi-wiring.
In practice, bi-wiring involves connecting two (preferably identical) sets
of speaker cables between each amplifier channel and its corresponding
loudspeaker. In many cases, the benefit is a subjectively improved level of
clarity and detail from the speaker, as a result of being able to feed the two
separate sections of its crossover and driver complement with identical, yet
separate signals.
(Many high quality loudspeakers also offer two sets of connections on their
speakers. Generally, one set of the connections on the loudspeaker feeds
the portion of the speaker's crossover network that supplies the woofer
with its signal; the other set of connections connects to the portion of the
crossover that supplies the rest of the speaker with the midrange and high
frequencies.)
Although the binding posts on your Classé amplifier will accept bare wire
connections, we strongly recommend the use of high quality spade or hook
lugs, crimped and soldered onto the ends of your speaker wires. Using
high quality connectors will ensure that your speaker connections do not
gradually deteriorate from fraying and oxidizing bare wires. It also helps
prevent accidental short-circuits from poorly-terminated connections.
