Hi,i have a preamp and two power amps.The amps are musical fidelity A3 pre+2 150 power amps,can someone please let me know the correct way to bi- wire the speakers,and they are monitor audio bx6s silver.I have tried to do it myself but i am still not sure i have gotten it right,so,i would be grateful if someone with the knowledge could help me.Many thanks.
 
Sounds like you are trying to BI-AMP, not bi-wire?
Are these stereo amps or monoblocks?
 
Hi John,the amps are both stereo.Would it be easier to just wire one speaker to one amp times 2 and, i am using 2 cables to each speaker and that is why i thought it meant biwired,but not having any real knowledge on the system and of course wiring thats why i am in the predicament i am now.Thanks John,any advice will be appreciated.
 
I believe this is how you would want to biamp them:

So basically one stereo amp per speaker.
I agree that is the best way to do it. I have something similar. I have a Quad 66 Preamp and two QUAD 606 stereo power amps. I visited MAPLIN (but plenty of other specialists available) to get a RCA Phono split plug so I could plug in two phono leads from left out and two phono leads from right out of my preamp into the power amps. It improved stereo imaging, and also means that each amp delivers one channel for LF and one channel for HF of each of the speakers.

You will find the sound should be stunning. You could do it the other way, for example one pair L+R out to one amp, and one pair L+R to the other amp. Just make sure your speaker cabling is clearly connected.
Try the diagram which Mission posted first. That's the best way, I think....greater stereo separation effect.
