[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 85255, member: 1447"] okay - a few points for you - what you call a "driver" is a "tweeter" - all speakers that are within an enclosure are known as drivers - so that includes the mids and tweeters as well as all other woofers. to separate the frequencies entering the speaker into a high pass and low pass all you need to do is remove the gold plated platelets between the binding posts (thats the terminal thingie in which the banana plugs or wire ends fit) no - bi-amp is when technically you have two channels per driver pair - using the "speaker B option means you are just bi-wiring not bi-amping and generally thats just a waste of wire - the differences that bi-wiring make are so subtle that you may not even notice most of them - bi-amping on the other hand is a worthwhile exercise if the reciever has RCA pre-outs then you might be able to add a power amplifier to the front channels (as long as using the pre-outs doesnt switch off the speaker outputs) and then bi-amp in that manner - it might even be an advantage to stagger the amounts of power ie use the speaker outputs from the receiver on the tweeters and then to use a more powerful power amp on the mid/lower frequencies [/QUOTE]
