Bi-Amping Front Speakers Has anyone on here BI-AMPED their speakers? Is it worth it to lose the 7.1 for Bi-Amping?

I bi-amped my Paradigm Monitor 11's since I can't use the 2 extra surround speakers in my room setup anyways so I figured I might as well put those 2 amp channels to use. I sense a bit more clarity and effortless sound and I'm happy! If you try it don't forget to set speaker type to bi-amp in setup.

I've bridged the fronts but I haven't tried bi-amping. I think either would be better for 2 channel music, for 5 channel the speakers are level matched with the audyysey which would negate any extra power anyway.I thought I noticed improvements with bridging especially in the bass response, but since my front speakers are rated at 125 watts I thought I better not push it and went back to a regular connection.

Get a seperate amp. If my stock one was a 2/10, after speakers and a head unit id rate it a 4/10. But the amp jumped it to 8.5/10. AMP is a HUGE difference

What exactly do you mean that a 7.1 system will never be used? I was planning on getting a 7.1 and putting 4 speakers in the living room with the TV and two in the adjoining kitchen area. No? Do you still get surround sound with 7.1 and are the Onkyo speakers really that bad? I was looking at either the 7200 or 6200.

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.

Usually for surround purposes an odd number is used. ie a 5.1 or 7.1 setup. The .1 is for a subwoofer, then you usually have 2 rear speakers, 2 front right and left speakers and 1 center speaker (5.1 setup) You can add a right and left mid speaker for a 7.1 set up. The front center speaker is the "main" speaker that handles the majority of the TV sound. Unfortunately speakers are sold in even lots, leaving you with an extra speaker.

how can you make a fair comparison between a 5.1 system and a 7.1 system? no matter how great the speakers you buy with the 607, you will still only have a 5.1 system.

Biamping is sending power separately to the Woofers and Tweeters for instance.....I wouldn't really recommend this on this type of system as oppossed to a very high end system(where you could actually TRI-AMP IT with the proper High End Speakers) but that is a WHOLE other ballgame in Audio and very expensive.....If you add a major powerful Power Amp to great speakers that's all you should need(without Bi-Amping to different parts of the same speaker)...but it will be moot if your speakers aren't good enough or can't handle it....

some receivers allow you to "bi amp" a speaker.it separates the highs and the lows sent to the speaker.some think sounds better by passing the speakers internal crossover.I don't think so.now if the speaker had no crossover and you HAD to bi amp,then it would sound better no doubt.

You will only need 1 JL 13.5 (go for 2 if you want, that will really boom) if you want some serious bass. Push the W7 with a JL 1000.1 or 1200.1 amp. The quality and loudness is 2nd to none. JL is a bit expensive, but you pay for what you get. This is a no brainer, JL Audio is indeed ahead of the curve.

I used my existing 7 speakers & woofer. You may wish to check that the speakers match this amp. The power or ohms, not sure which. The setup process checks for speakers. I reckon that will just do the right thing b

The manual states "Dual binding posts allow bi-amp or bi-wire connections, for the ultimate in customized high performance audio". I just used the lower set on each speaker and they sound fantastic. Go to http://www.audioholics.com/frequent-questions/the-difference-between-biamping-vs-biwiring for an explanation of the two options.

I have no personal experience with 9750 but just looking at it; the 9750 has two additional front speakers, making it a true 7.1 system.

I don't see why not. I use them as my rears in a 5.1 and plan to transition them to my side speakers once I install another pair of speaker for rears to complete a 7.1 system. They might not have as much power as you would want for front speakers but that all depends on room size and your taste.

I have been using it as an external cabinet for my Bugera V5 since that amp has such a small speaker and it sounds great. I would also let you know that I got a different sound using the thinner Monster speaker cable as opposed to the GLS speaker cable which is much thicker. I haven't used it in stereo yet but I suppose I could try something like your setup. If I do I'll pass on the info.Hope this wasn't a total waste of your time.

If your receiver can handle 7.1 its just a simple matter of adding two additional speakers. I would recommend adding to floor speakers to your front channels and using the DefTech speakers as your center, side, and rear surrounds.I hope this helps.-Dex

I actually contacted Onkyo about a similar thing. I want to run a 7.1.2 and use an amp with the RCA line out jacks. All I need to do is get an amp to power from the RCA jacks and I'm good to go. You should be able to run it with a rear pair and 4 atmos speakers, but something would have to be doubled up on the actually timing with the Dolby computing. It won't be a true 7.1.4...but you can run a true 7.1.2 with this system and an amp to power the additional speakers.

I have the INUKE 6000 and its great! A good rule of thumb it to use double the rms for your specific speaker. It is usually best to use one amp for tops and one amp for subs so you can run in stereo. Hope that helps!
