Thanks for the warm welcome....I just got off the phone with tech support. What I am trying to achieve is passive bi-amping and it seems I am making it out to be more difficult than it actually is. All signals from the AVR are going to be the same when I set the AVR to the "bi-amp" setting and the internal crossovers in the wf-34s will sort out the mess. I don't have to worry about blowing out my tweeters. Now...let's hope it makes a difference.

No Coyote, that does help. I would hate to lose these beauties by wiring them incorrectly. I'm contacting klipsch support for a bit more info.

That's it...you understand me! All of these terms are still new to me, but I am quickly learning.

Coyotee, to answer your first question, yes you are correct in hearing me right. And to answer the second question, yes my denon does allow a "bi-amp" capability. Whether or not this is the true meaning of bi-amp I am not sure. So, if the AVR allows it and the speakers are set up for it, then it could be done...right?

Here is the link to the manual: http://www.usa.denon.com/AVR-3808CI-OM-E_200.pdf The Bi-amp setting is on page 70 in the multi-zone section. It doesn't say, but I think the surround back channels are for the high frequency. Why are my sentences all bunched up in these posts?

Hmm, that's interesting. Thanks for the reply, but I have not come across any info in my manuals on placing crossovers in between the speakers and the AVR. Though I know that doesn't mean squat. The Denon 3808ci allows the surround back channels to be used for the front speakers and even calls it "bi-amping," yet there is no mention of a crossover. And the WF-34's also have two sets of wire posts in the back. Is it possible that the design of the wf-34s allows for the direct wiring from the AVR? I found this photo online. My speaks are actually the espresso color. I will try to get those pics up when my WS-24s, WC-24, and XW-300D come in.

Hello everyone, I am new here and this is my first post. I have recently purchased a pair of WF-34s and plan on bi-amping them with a Denon 3808CI. I have scoured the internet forums on the subject and I am still slightly confused about the wiring. My question is; when using the front & left channels and the surround back front & left channels to supply power to the two front speakers, do I need to keep the front and left wiring the same? I assume I do, but I have seen many diagrams online that show the wires from both front channels connected to the one speaker and both surr. back channels connected to the other. So again, I assume that the front left channel connects to the left speaker (bottom posts) and the surround back left channel also connects to the left speaker (top posts). And vice versa for the right side. Does this sound correct? Is there one preferred method over another when considering one AVR? Thank you and any advice would be appreciated.
