2 X Carver TFM-15CB ‘s How would I set these up?

I have been using a Carver TFM-15cb Power Amp hooked up to my Carver CT-17
Speakers are Klipsch Quartets. I’ve got it daisy chained to some Vandersteen Model 2. For those asking, all hooked up to a Bang & Olufsen 4004 Beogram.

I would like to get more sound out of the vandersteens so I bought another TFM-15cb.

So my question is how would I set this up. The CT-17 has a pre-out. So my question is what is the proper way to hook these up. Connect the Klipsch’s up to one power amp(front) and the Vandersteens up to another amp (back).

I don’t know much about bridged mode but will be doing some research.. just thought I’d get some comments from the pro’s.

Thanks
Chris

If you want to run one pair of speakers from each amp, then you use a pair of "Y" cables to split the pre out to both amps. That arrangement has nothing to do with bridge mode. It's just routing the signal to two separate amps, each running in normal stereo configuration.
 
Okay thanks.. yeah after reading about bridging I realized its not what I thought it meant. Any recommendation on 'y' cable?
 
I have no specific brand recommendations for Y cables. It's whatever floats your boat.

The general style I'd look to sort of depends on the arrangement. Probably the most universal would be single male to two female. That way you can extend from the Y cables to the amplifiers, as necessary, using cables you may already have on hand.
