The subject line should have read... "You will know soon enough"if biwiring was done correctly or not. Incorrectly shorts out the amplifier's output stage which if the protection circuits don't catch will blow out the output stage. :)

Yep. This happened in a dealer's store when they set up some speakers for me to audition. I guess it was a little easier to short out the speaker terminals since they were using tri-wire cables. I suppose it only blew the fuse. It was an integrated tube amplifier, C-J, I think. I made them get a SS amp, which sounded better with those speakers.
I've just been using 12 gauge cables for many years.

I've been running 14 Gauge to the mains as my runs are short and 12 gauge to the surrounds because of the distance.
