Can a person Bi Wire The Front Speakers with the Denon AVR 3805

[TornadoTX]

Just curious as to how this would be done. I have read up on the advantages to this and it seems like it would be worthwhile. Looking at the Denon AVR 3805 it does not seem to have an option to be able to bi wire the Front Speakers.

Can it be done?

Would it be worth my while to do this with the AVR 3805?

Thanks.

Well, in fact you can bi-amp your front speakers. Look in another thread in this forum that explains how to do it.

Had to use a google search, my company has blocked the Forum Search, but the procedure is documented in the review.

Easy to bi-wire

It's very easy to bi-wire your speakers to the Denon 3805, assuming that your speakers are set up for bi wiring. This is not the same thing as bi-AMPING.
To bi-wire your speakers, they need to have separate terminals for the tweeters and midrange/lower-range drivers. From each speaker, you will then have two positive wires and two negative wires. Simply connect these to the positive and negative front speaker terminals on the 3805, with the four wires from the left speaker going to the Denon's left front speaker connectors, etc. I have KEF Q7's, and they were easy to connect this way using large-gauge zip cord. If you want to go fancy, it's not hard to find a set of bi-wired speaker cables that terminate in banana plugs on both ends.
Is it worthwhile? Some people claim to hear a difference with bi-wiring, while others say it makes no difference.

According to most of the literature on this site, you'll get not advantage from bi-wiring, save lower resistance due to more conductor going to the speaker. Just like a lot of stuff in the audiophile world, bi-wiring effects can probably just be dismissed as Placebo effect.
