Plugging bi-amp speakers into a "standard" amp?

[NeilF]

So my much loved bi-wire (bi-amp?) Sony MHC-3600 has finally died.

It uses bi-wiring to its speakers. Not sure if its a bi-amp or not, but it certainly has a pair of wires to the trebles, and another pair to the be base speakers... (ie: 4 pairs)


If I buy a regular mini component such as a Denon DM40DAB, which has just a a pair of outputs for each speaker, can I just connect four wires to each pair?

eg:-

Left Treble & Bass + to hifi Left +
Left Treble & Bass - to hifi Left -
Right Treble & Bass + to hifi Right +
Right Treble & Bass - to hifi Right -

What you're talking about in essence is bi-wiring from a DM40Dab or similar. Yes, you can do it that way but I'd recommend replacing the bridging links at the speakers instead and using plain mono wiring.
