What interconnects are you guys using for bi-wiring speakers? I need a Y XLR based cable.

I'm using 802 D3s and krell amps. I want to use two amp channels per speaker. Just wanted to know what you guys were using for this and where to get a good cable that sounds good.

Thanks in advance.

That Classe CP-800 is pretty unique in this sense! @mgould - Looking at your Marantz 8802A, it actually appears that there is a configuration that allows you to use two outputs for a bi-amp situation. If you go to pages 233 and 237 of the 8802A manual, you can see that you can change the Amp Assign Mode to "9.1ch (Bi-Amp)". It will allow to you select one of three different channels to use as the "bi-amp" channel (either "Front Wide", "Height1" or "Surround Back"). http://us.marantz.com/DocumentMaster/US/AV8802AU_ENG_CD-ROM_UG_v01A_New.pdf

That depends on the speakers. And the amplifiers. And of course, some speakers require biamplification; they can't be used with just a single stereo amp.

That Classe CP-800 is pretty unique in this sense! It's not unique at all, it's very common. For example, just about every ARC preamp offers two XLR outputs. That's really useful for those who use biamplifaction.
