Well to go off of my previous post on a scam I am embarresed to say I fell for HERE (http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28536) Are there other speaker assemblies that have this wire configuration.

There are 4 terminals (on one speaker)
2 positive
2 negative
the 2 and 2 are connected/bridged together (so in otherwords you can connect to either) They do have a sub(non powered). So my question is, on the back of my Denon I have a female bananna connector for A & B front. Can I put wires from the B front to the other terminals, with the hopes of adding more watts to the towers?

The same amp drives the A and B terminals (this is why a higher impedance is required when driving two sets of speakers.) You would not gain any watts. Unless you biamp (with two separate power amps), it is better to leave them bridged and just connect one pair of terminals.

Like Joe said, what you would be doing is essentially a bi-wired configuration with no real benefit.
