I wonder can anyone out there help me?

I have put in bi-wire behind the walls for my new home theater. Because of the shape of the room (9ft x 18ft), I've been advised that dipoling rears on the side walls will give a better effect than single wiring to the rear walls. So that's where the cable is set up to.

When I was going to bi-pole, I thought that it was as simple as twisting together the two -'s and the two +'s at the Amplifier, and wiring the separate - and + cables to the 4 posts at the speaker end (having removed the cross over bit).

To dipole, I've been told that what I need to do is swap over the tweeter + and - inputs. OK, I reckon I can work that out.

But now another guy (installing some other equipment) has said no way should I do this as it will blow the amp. According to him, +/- can never be crossed over if they are wired to a single output on the amp - as this will blow a fuse in the amp.

Is that right? What to do?

BTW, rear speakers are Monitor Audio Silver Fxi and amp is Marantz SR 6200.

Thanks in advance
