The biwiring is doubtless merely a gimmick. But sure, extend whatever
wiring there is. If there are 16 cables leading to the speaker,
splice in 16 cables. What else?

I agree that bi-wiring is a total gimmick, but active operation isn't. It's
interesting that some of the micro-systems around these days use electronic
crossovers and separate power amps for treble and bass. That means that the
'speakers don't have crossovers in them. I'm sure it's done totally for
reasons of economy, but it's good to see that cheese-paring economics can
also result in a better engineering solution.
