Ok that was my hypothesis (my previous receiver was a stereo Yamaha so I'm a bit lost). Am I right to suppose this setup
Cool thanks for the information. But the question is how to connect the wires on the Denon receiver?Broli's Mom wrote: ↑ You can definitely bi-wire your speakers using this receiver.
Yeah my speakers were bi-wired on my previous receiver. But like I said in a post above, I went from a Yamaha stereo receiver to a Denon home theater receiver so things are a completely different: see picture
I may be seriously misunderstanding your question, but I don't think so. Trust me on this. Your Yamaha stereo receiver and your Denon HT receiver are no different except for the fact that your Denon is capable of driving more than two speakers. EACH of those Denon speaker labels (Front R, Front L, Center, Surround R, Surround L, Surround Back R, Surround Back L, Height 1 R, Height 1 L, Height 2 R, Height 2 L) are meant to be connected to one, unique speaker only. You can not wire terminals for two or more of these to the same speaker - DO NOT wire your Denon Fronts to the bass terminals of your speakers and the Heights to the mid/high terminals of the same speakers.
Ok I got it. Just like your bottom left picture. Didn't get it at first because, on my Yamaha, it was different. Had L+R on speakers A +B. So all four connectors were used on the receiver. The bad news is I will need to buy some kind of connectors like the male gold ones you have for the second wire. Is it important which one (bass or mid-high) goes in the connector?DiceMan wrote: ↑ I may be seriously misunderstanding your question, but I don't think so. Trust me on this.

You need to wire BOTH reds and blacks of your right JMlabs (Focal) Chorus 715 speaker to the single red and black Front R of your Denon and BOTH reds and blacks of your left JMlabs (Focal) Chorus 715 speaker to the single red and black Front L of your Denon. This way, you've just set up your Denon in exactly the same way as your Yamaha stereo - with the JMlabs as your Main R & L.
Think I'm gonna get that instead:Broli's Mom wrote: ↑ Grab a pair of these for your left and right Focal speakers.

The purpose of the metal plate is to short the two reds and two blacks so the speaker can be connected with one speaker cable to red and one to black for a conventional setup. Usually, in this case the wires should be connected to the lower pair of terminals but it's not a big deal.
but what does bi wiring do for u if u are connecting both sets of wires to the L and R terminal on the receiver wouldn't that be doing the same thing the metal pate does just making it require alot more wires.DiceMan wrote: ↑ The purpose of the metal plate is to short the two reds and two blacks so the speaker can be connected with one speaker cable to red and one to black for a conventional setup.

If you decide on going bi-wire, remove the metal clip.
There's internal speaker circuitry/wiring apart from the crossover that sends that one signal to which speaker drivers its supposed to go to. In a way, it's almost like bypassing the crossover. And in theory, if you have speaker cables that excel in the highs, you would connect them to the upper speaker terminals. If you have another set of cables (perhaps a different brand) that do well with bass, then you'd use that on the lower terminals.
ok ya that makes more since. in his second example of using 2 dif amps to get dif types of sound makes there sound like there's kinda of a point to but in his first example of just using 2 dif types wires to the same amp that sounds like some monster cable type snake oil i need to buy a special cable tuned just for a tweeter and woofer to get the best sound out of my speakers lol.DiceMan wrote: ↑ There's internal speaker circuitry/wiring apart from the crossover that sends that one signal to which speaker drivers its supposed to go to.

Watch the video I posted. It does a much better job of explaining than I can.
