Hi guys
I'm not sure if it is the anticipation of a few years finally coming to fruition or the fear of seeing blue smoke come out of my recently purchased processor but I find myself completely blank of what I think is a very simple question. See pic below:
The bi-wire cables that I have always used on my receiver, won't work as bi-wire on my power amp as there are just 2 connections per speaker cable. Can I just join the 2 black and 2 red cables respectively and then plug them into the corresponding connections on the power amp?
The other option I assume would have been to re-connect the links the speakers came with and then just "half" of the speaker cable (ie leave either the red or black unconnected) and thus use them as a single ended speaker cable. Unfortunately I cannot remember where i have stored those and know I will find them when I stop looking for them sometime in the future.
So back to my question, can I just connect the 2 reds and the 2 blacks (on the power amp side) and just plug them into the power amp or will I be doing some harm?
