bi AMP connections

[mike711711]

Would there be any advantage to using the bi amp connection? I have the Monitor Audio Bronze speakers hooked up to the yamaha rxv 1600 and was thinking about giving this a try. Would I hear a difference? Thanks ,Mike

Not likely. Since the speakers would be feeding off the same power supply and capacitors there wouldn't be much difference in overall power. I think they call what you are trying to do a verticle bi-wire, which is a pointless configuration offering no advantage in sound quality or power.

It won't sound any different if that is what you're asking. It might play a little louder, but as Seth mentioned, it is still running off a single power source so I wouldn't expect big things. Using a separate, more powerful amp would at least allow you to actually offload some of the work from the receiver's power supply.

O.K You talked me out of it. Thanks for the replys. Saved me some work.

i had mine bi-wired for a little bit. The only cool thing I could do what turn off the woofers or have them play by themselves. Essentially pointless.
