Bi-Amping Front Speakers: Has anyone on here BI-AMPED their speakers?

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.

Are you going to run two speakers off of one channel or do you have a four channel amp?What type of amp do you have?

Dear John,Great integrated amp and bookshelf speakers. I like the way you think! This will be an excellent match. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

From my understanding this is for bi-amping. I own a set of them though and they come with a bracket that bridges the posts so that you can use them normally. Basically if you intend to use these with any normal surround setup you should just leave them the way they come with that bracket and they sound absolutely amazing.

depends on how you have it set up and what stereo monitors you're using. and if you're using the 1 behritone speaker compared to a stereo pair, you basically do have half the speaker. I'm running 2 adam a5x's and 2 behritones and the behritones are actually louder than my Adams when zeroed out (running balanced outs from a fireface ufx to both sets). maybe you have a defective speaker?

Yes. I'm using an external amp+speakers simultaneously to the internal speakers...

Hi, You can BI-AMP the Front Mains...but you can't Bridge.....If you want more power you can add a more powerful Amp up to 9 channels as it has 9 PRE-OUTS.......so you could use say a 7 Channel 300 Watt per channel amp using the preouts (Or how ever many channels you want 2,4 5 7 whatever.....I have a 300 Watt 2 channel pre-outed to my Front Mains.....but your speakers better be able to handle it and if you BI-AMP (which is different) you Speakers have to be Biampable)...Hope this helps.....

Yes using the front mains and the surround channels you can bi-amp the front mains. That's how I have my Paradigm Studio 40's and it made quite a difference- though you'll also have to re-equalize the room after

Some Receivers/Amps allow you to Bi-Amp. So you can connect one set of wires to the top and one set of wires to the bottom. This separates the Highs and Mids from the Base and produces a somewhat clearer sound. But if you don't plan to bi-amp, then just connect your speaker wire on any pair. You'll notice there is a flat gold-colored piece of metal that connects the two sets and it works fine that way as well.

I don't know how did you plug in the speakers? It has 7 separate amps! Just be careful about its high-current capability, thats causing the over heating!

I am using fh6-lcr's as fronts and center for two years they are wonderful.Make sure your amp has enough to push them.Remember center channels make the best speakers.Also fyi you have to stand them up vertically for proper sound when using as surrounds,Google for technical reason.

Jennifer, you haven't provided much information on how you are using the speakers. The speaker with the volume control also has the amplifier imbedded. You probably have the older speakers with the bass boost switch on the backside. the older speakers are known to blow the amplifier, but that kills the sound to both speakers. When I have had Problems with just the right speaker it was always caused by the audio cable or Y connector between the speakers and the audio source. In other words you may not be inputing two channels into the speaker input. Good Luck

I have a pioneer vsx-1121K and have the A9's Bi-Amped, hitting these with 220W per channel. Even hitting these speakers with this amount of power they still aren't working hard. I'm looking into getting either a different receiver or a seperate amp to make these guys really shine...

How do you bi-amp a speaker from one source? Can you give an example of a receiver with this feature? Does one need to buy an extra amp?

After reading the other reviewers answers, I had my FH running instead of width or rear and zone 2 in 5.2. I know in the " speaker set up" menu section on 818 you could choose which amp assignment to use. Look in there on your A/V and that should answer your question. I think I'm right though. Why else would they offer pre- out to FH/SB/FW etc...

It depends on your settings. I personally wouldn't run that much power to a single speaker of this class. I bought a T500-1bdCP which is rated at 500, but the birth sheet says 811. I burned one up. The installer didn't set the crossover settings on the amp and had the gain too high. After setting the amp correctly I've replaced the speaker and haven't had any trouble since.I do have the same box and subs, but with two speakers in my suv which can handle that load much better.

I have front and rear door speakers, as well as the in dash tweeters in my Subaru Outback, and they are all indeed functioning through the Alpine amplifier. Trouble is, I bought the Alpine from Amazon, but had it installed professionally and I'm not at all sure about the actual wiring setup. You may be better off calling the manufacturer. I can attest to the to the amazing sound, though. It Absolutely Rocks!!!
