Does this model allow for bi amping of the front left and right speakers?

I don't know, but it is a great receiver. I own two of them. Beautiful, intuitive design. Clean sound. Receiver integrates very well with my Control4 system via IP.

Hello,It is fully 7.2 ready, which means that it has 7 discrete amplifier channels (front left, center, front right, surround left, surround right, rear left, rear right) as well as 2 sub (low level, requires amplified sub) outs. You can also enable bi-amp setup by using the additional 2 speaker hookups.Sean Garland

Yes, then plug your front left and right from the sub-woofer. Sound and sound control is better when connected like this. Cheers

It's really only useful if you're going to do active equalization. i.e. if you're going to bi-amp your speakers. So, if you will have one amplifier for high frequencies and another one for lows, driving two separate speakers (not one input - two separate feeds into your speakers - 4 terminals)

Well, yes. Recognize that as a single speaker it will integrate left/right channels into monaural. Small price to pay. I use mine to take any of my audio feeds (TV, computer streaming audio, CD, etc) to locations where I need the portability (like working in my garage).

No, just running a receiver "Onkyo" model 616. I have 2 separate sub amps for the front and rear sub woofers

Although I didn't try it, on the back of the player it has a line out for Right and Left. I am guessing that would be for additional speakers.

I hooked mine up to a sub-woofer output. I beliieve the power to it from there is very low, like 1-3 amps. I once hooked a sub-woofer up in my car and was told then by the installer that if I did not have a sub-woofer output, I could hook it up to the left and right main speaker outputs, that this would work, but I would just need to add some kind of filter on each to allow only the low tones through. Cant remember the filters name, but sold for about $30. So I think this princible would apply to a home system as well. PS-the BIC V-80 is GREAT!

Yes I have powered several pairs of speakers from the surround back/ zone 2 output using an impedance balancing speaker selector.

I have a CS2 center and have the Monitors bi-amped with the front high output of my Pioneer VSX-1121-K receiver. Bi-amping made a noticeable difference in the sound.

No, it has both low level (i.e. a positive and negative, left and right speaker) input, as well as a higher level inputs.

Yes you can, as tom said this particular model has the Pre-Amp built in, which means if you have speakers with an amp built in and rca connections in the back it will work by directly plugging it into the speakers. however, as Tom has also said, If your speakers are unpowered and hooked up to an amplifier, it must then be hooked up to the amplifier instead of the speakers.

This is only for the Front Left/Right, Center and Rear Left/Right. Your subwoofer will get it's signal from your processors' subwoofer outlet.

This is definitely not possible without powered speakers (and no amp). I'm not sure if it would work with powered speakers but I would guess not (you might be able to plug the left and right rca out on the dac to the left and right powered speaker, I'm not sure).

I have not tried it on this system but I have on similar setups. There is a better way than suggested.You can plug your Main Speakers in Left (A and B) and your Monitors in Right (A and B).Then you can use Left/Right Output Levels for overall balance between Room and Monitors and Input Balance (Pan) on each channel to control Levels on what gets Mixed into the Monitor or not.

Short answer, Yes. These switches indicate which of the speaker outputs on the back of the Amp are live. Depending on whether or not you wish to bridge, you may have both A and B selected.
