speaker terminal in RB-1080????

[audiofan]

Hi,
In my Rotel RB-1080, there are two sets of speaker terminal for both Left and Right channel.

1> Does it matter if i used the upper set or lower set?

2> Are these two sets for bi-wiring purpose?

What is your suggestion? The reason i'm asking because the manual shows only one set or terminal (+ -) for each channel...


THanks.

Answers:

1) No

2) Yes (among other possibilities)

Your RB-1080 is one of the newer versions of this amp. the manual hasn't been updated, but I believe you're getting a better product (with better speaker connection, among other tweaks)

Thanks.
I read somewhere that bi-wire is not improving the sound. Is that true, as i have never tried bi-wiring myself. Well, it wouldn't hurt to try as i have wires lying around the house. So in bi-wring , the length of both wires must be the same?

Bi-wire won't hurt...but may not improve either....as for the length quesiton check out this thread.
