Well...yes... as a matter of fact,there is...Heres one. And there are probably many more...
From my Sonus faber speaker manual...
BI-WIRING
This type of connection improves the general reproduction quality, and in particular the bass frequencies. This requires two pairs of speaker cables used in the following manner: remove the connections between the terminals (bridges) ( g.11), connect each pair of terminals (high and low frequencies) independently to the amplifer as shown in g.12.
