Room is roughly 9' across by 16' deep by 8' high and made entirely of different kinds of concrete, with hardwood floors. DIY bass traps help, but the room is problematic with or without. System is Arcam FMJ-CD23 player, Naim AV2 pre-pro, Naim Nait5i (gain matched) for power, and, currently, Linn Ninkas. The Ninkas sound good -- decent PRAT with adequate microphonics and well-controlled bass, but conspicuously lack in the imaging and soundstage department.

I bought some Focal 716S speakers and they have four posts. From left to right the post are labeled negative III, negative II, positive III, positive II. I currently have regular speaker cable hooked up to the negative and positive III positions. My logic was that III might mean that the two woofers, and one tweeter would be incorporated. Honestly though I don't know.
Do you think this is correct?
Should I biwire, and if I do what are the benefits and drawbacks?
I am running a Harmon Kardon AV-130 with 55 watts in Stereo Mode.
