    Bi-wiring is when you use a single stereo integrated amp or receiver and use speaker wire that connects to the speaker outputs. Internally the wire has sections for the bass and treble and four connectors at the speaker end. A speaker that has two sets of inputs for bass and treble can be biwired. If you are using a receiver and add an amp and the receiver will handle the treble and the amp the bass you are now bi-amping. You would have an idividual speaker cable going from one amp to the low frequencies and another speaker cable from the receiver to the high frequencies.

    Do you bi-wire?

    No but I get alot of offers...Badoom chuck

    I did when I was using the Rotel, though I can't claim to have heard any difference. With the arrival of the Mac came bi-amping which I can say did bring a noticable difference.
