It isn't bi-wiring or bi-amping.

I know it is not BI-AMPING.
However, why is it not considered BI-WIRING..??
After all isn't bi-wiring just taking one lead and splitting it into 2 leads thus delivering the same amount of current to the terminals??
Bi-wiring involves two pairs of wires to each speaker. If you believe Richard Vandersteen's paper on bi-wiring (I do) then you keep the two pairs separated from each other to avoid smearing due to the Hall effect.
The picture shows a single pair of wires going to the speaker, and they used those same wires to replace the stock jumpers.

...running separate cables from the amplifier to the speaker terminals, but because at some point the wires converge (either at the amp end or the speaker end) there's virtually no difference. Even if you use two sets of speaker connections on the amplifier end they almost always come off the same power transformer anyway. I think the idea is to keep the low frequencies apart from the high frequencies as much as possible. The only sure way to do that is by using separate amplifiers for each driver and utilizing an external crossover.
