Why shouldn't I bi-wire Wilson Watt/Puppies 6

I'm really only running two sets of speaker wire to the same binding post from two different taps, 8 and 4 ohm.

Perhaps I'm confused but it sounds to me like you would be shorting out 1/2 of your output transformer, which would be a major problem. Don't do this unless you are positive you are doing it correctly or you could do some serious damage to the amp.

I like the other idea of using 1/2 the cable and leaving the others disconnected.

Thanks for that comment. That's exactly why I posted here, over my depth and now may have avoided trouble. Thanks again.

You'd be bypassing the crossover as well, so in all, not a good idea.

I haven't seen the latest versions but the earlier ones had the crossovers in the cabinets. Is the 6 different?

I have wp 6's. The issue is you by pass the crossover when done the way you are asking. You can run your Watts full range direct to your amps. The Watt's produce about 90% of the sound. The Puppies the low low bass only.

Bi wiring the speakers this way may cause some interection with both cross overs and and your amp. I'd stick to their recommendation.

b/c of your bannana's at one end, I'd only use one part of your bi wire to each speaker. You'll still get great sound. Order a adapter to hook things up right.

You have one of the best speakers anywhere...don't mess around with using both taps off your amp and hooking up both terminals of the watt and the puppy. The designers did things for a reason....

You'll have killer tunes using only 1/2 of your cables...buy some adapters and be happy...or try some different speaker cables..the wp 6's are VERY revealing...you may/may not like something different...
