Bi-Wiring (I want to do this for the sound quality for my B&W 705 speakers connected to my Denon 2807):
When using speakers set up & created for bi-wiring [the separate drivers], please advise me for what truly will give the best sound possible. Should I take my two sets of pureav Belkin cables, plug them into the same receiver outputs, then put them separately into the two sets of speaker terminals, or is it actually impotant to purchase biwire speaker wire (one set of + & - on one end, and two sets on other end)? Also, since my receiver (like most) has a speaker A and speaker B output, if I should use two sets of non-specialized-bi-wires, how would it compare to use the above described method vs. putting each separate cable from the receiver into the A and B slots? (Note: Denon AVR-2807 has Audyssey setup, which I hope will not get confused if I were to use the A and B slots to actually do biwiring into a total of 2 speakers.)

Banana plugs/clips/etc.: What is the advantage & disadvantage of using these?

Biamping could perhaps improve the sound. Biwiring has no audible benefits.

If you want to bi-wire, or more appropriately buy-wire, you would plug it into the same amp out terminals, and each set of speaker terminals without the shorting bar. You don't need a special wire for this, just two runs of wires.
But, as stated, it has not been shown that it makes an audible difference, except in some special cases so set up to show this with special signals, not encountered with music.

If you want them to perform their best, buy an amp, not wire.
