  1. When I run audyssey on my amp I actually brings the settings up in the treble range....Like + 4.5 db at roo16 khz and lower treble settings vary from +1.5 db to +2 db. Ithink audyessy calculations vary wildly by room and speakers. I use this amp mostly for music (90%).
  2. I know the feeling .....None of the yamaha stuff i have owned liked my klipsch....With my marantz they make sweet love, perhaps down right dirty sex !
  3. I due believe I have a fair understanding of what you have all so kindly shared with me ! I did try bi-amping them earlier before my first post, and they definately sounded better...without any doubt. The increase in sound quality started me thinking about impedences and crossovers. A then I began to question my thoughts ....and got myself in a tizzy. Just out of curiousity, does anyone know what order of crossovers each driver uses ? (1st 2nd ...4th). These speakers seem almost magical ! I have always found I liked speakers that used 1st order more. I actually these Klipsch so much they probably will end up as the main speakers on my old gem Levinson amp. My guess is the use a 4th order because crossover frequency is so low for the tweeter.
  4. So basically.... The when the bind post straps are on, the total impedance averages 8 ohms. When the straps are removed each section would about 16 ohms. I assume that the drivers and there crossovers are connected in parallel to the inputs, not in series, as then the crossovers would not function properly. Just so everyone understands where I am coming from....I have a seven channel surround amp that I only use three channels of (L R C). I can control the crossover frequencies to each channel. The amp(s) say 8-6 ohm load. In the amplifier manual it does tell me how to bi-amp a speaker. The amp is a Marantz NR-1601.
  5. Okay....I read my speakers owners manual again. I have RB-61's, the owners manual for it says bi-amping is possible, but it does not give any more info other than that. The RB-61-II manual,(available online) says bi-wiring is possible. Knowing the minimum and maximum impedances for each driver section would help alot.
  6. My amp is not rated to drive a 4 ohm load. The idea in bi-amping was a little more power and cleanliness. I am not sure....but I do assume that as I am able to control crossover frequencies to each channel(I don't know weather or not the crossover frequencies are applied before or after the signal is amplified I would assume before), that each channel would only be amplifing the necessary frequencies for each channel more or less. I would love to know the impedance curve for each section individually (binding post straps removed) and together. I have no desire to take chances with my amp or speakers.
  7. Thanks speakerfritz ! Duh ....I checked the manual and it says nothing about bi-amping...it just says bi-wiring is possible ! So i guess it's a no go for bi-amping ! Thanks again for the wake-up call !
  8. I have a pair of RB61's I am thinking about bi-amping with my HTR as receiver allows it. (I only use L R C ). Now my question is the RB61's are rated as an 8 ohm load. Is this only when binding post straps are in place ? If straps are removed does the speaker become two 4 ohm loads ? I measured each set of posts and I cannot get a reading for the top posts, bottom posts read about 4.7 ohms, with straps in place it still reads about 4.7 ohms.
