Could you clarify what you mean by biwiring? It seems to be a bit of a different definition than I'm used to seeing. It sounds like you're saying: run wires from a pair of speaker mains to a single pair of speakers. For example, the left channel would need 4 wires, with 4 connections at the amp and 4 connections at the speaker. The usual way I've seen this done (again, thinking of the left channel) is to use 4 wires with 4 connections at the speaker but 2 connections at the amp. Is this something new? If so, any links for more reading would be appreciated.

Well, there's 2 ways to bi-wire a pair of speakers - the way u mentioned - 4 wires with 4 connections at the speaker but 2 connections at the amp/receiver(this is done when the amp/receiver has just ONE pair of main speaker-level outputs, it's recommended that you use both banana tip and spade/pin connectors on the amp/receiver side if you have multi-way binding posts on the amp/receiver), then there's the way I mentioned - 4 wires with 4 connections at the speaker(high freq. & low freq.) and 4 connections at the amp/receiver(using the amp/receiver's TWO pairs of main speaker-level outputs).
