Bi-amping

[bpgunning]

Would there be any advantage to bi-amping a pair of RTi8 floors using just my HK 445? Gracias in advance

Hi Brendan and welcome,

To be honest, I have recently gone from bi-amping my RTi10s through my Yammie 2700 just to bi-wiring them and didn't notice a huge difference between the two formats.

It's a whole new ball game though when you bi-wire as opposed to having a single pair of speaker leads going to the 2 of the 4 terminals (with the flat metal jumpers still intact) :eek: . When you bi-wire, it really brings the highs to life.

Anyway, check out this link from the Polk site about bi-wiring and bi-amping:

Good luck.

A bit difference when I bi-amped RTi4 using Denon AVR. I assigned Back Surround channel to Bi-Amp. It would be better if you are using 2 separate amplifier to bi-amp I think. I found more cleaner sound comparing with center channel. Please check out as VXR8 mentioned.

I was running my 1.2's on a(single) tfm 35 using my denon 3300 as a preamp. Then I bought another tfm-35 and OH SNAPS the sound was and still is luxurious !

Hey! Has Anyone Compared The Rti 12 Vs The Lsi's Wondering What Was The Difference Is, You Know Im Only Pushing Rti-12 With The Yamaha Rxv25oo 5 Surround Maybe At 140ch 25%, Also Guys I Had A Question I Want To Push My Rti's At Least With 100more Watts Plus My Sub Too.. Its Velodyne 10' 385watts, How?? And What?? Amp Should I Buy For 100watts, How Do I Install It, The Rti's Are Bi-amped And Im Not Really Sure What That Means..
Also My Sub Question? My Velodyne Dsp10 Sub Is 385watts Digital, Do I Add That Additional Wattage When I Add An Amp Or Reciever Totaled Or Does The 385w Power Onlycome From The Rms Amp From The Sub?? Not Sure How To Calculate The Power Wattage When Adding Power Or Recievers Confused!! Bobbyfresco Boys! Keep Rockking..thanks Guys Ill Be Online On And Off, So Holla At Me..

it seems to me that bi-amping off of a rcvr is pretty useless. If you're gonna bi-amp w/ one coming off the rcvr and one off of a separate amp, I can understand, but if you bi-amp off of the same unit, you're robbing peter to pay paul.
