    Incorrect Bi-wire: any damage

    So today my installers came over to help with new tv setup etc.

    While here I asked them to assist me in swopping my speakers around.

    They ended up messing up the connections of my bi-wire setup at the one speaker end. They connected one wire (+-) to both positive terminals and the other to both negative terminals. See pic. Is this a short?

    When I switched the system on I immediately noticed no sound from the one channel. I powered down immediately and fixed (while swearing) the connection.

    Switched back on and everything seems fine.

    Could something have been damaged?

    Amp is Classe CA2200 and speaker B&W803 .

      Hmmm... no, I don't think anything should have been damaged. It won't work like that, but if you've corrected the wiring and everything works now, you should be good.

      Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

        There's no short or damage unless you had the jumpers installed between the two sets of speaker terminals (as you would in a non-biwire/biamp setup). But obviously it won't work either.
