As all we know, many high end speakers come with four sets of terminals on the back, two red, and two black with each pair of terminals supporting separate high and low frequency signals to the correct speakers(Click here for the picture). When supplied, the speakers will usually have a ‘bridging plate’ across them so that you only have to supply one cable to the speaker. If you supply each pair of terminals with a separate cable, from a separate amplifier output, you will be ensuring that each frequency gets a dedicated and consistent signal and this should improve the sound quality.
Sound quality this good is now available in a size and price that you can afford, and is no longer the exclusive domain of larger "audiophile" systems.

Here are the steps to connect your speakers in the bi-amplification modes:
Make sure that your system is powered OFF.
Remove the bi-wire bridges from each speaker. This separates the low pass filter (LPF) & high pass filter(HPF) crossovers.
Connect each TA-10.2P amplifier channel to its respective speaker section as shown.
Set the level controls on the amplifiers such that the signal will arrive at all speaker terminals at the same power-volume level. As TA-10.2P amplifiers are identical, it is usually sufficient to set TA-10.2P amplifier level controls the same. The speaker's built-in crossover is designed to match the efficiency of all the individual drivers (i.e. tweeters, midranges, and woofers). When using the bi-amplifier connection you must directly deal with some of these issues by adjusting levels according to your listening preference.

Vertical Bi-amp Setup
Remark: If your amplifiers are not identical, use the more powerful amplifier for the low sections and the cleaner (better sounding) amplifier for the high sections.
