Hi,
brand new to this forum and to higher end home audio equipment. I just purchased a used amp and speaker pairing used, Klipsch RF-82 II paired with a Denon AVR-S540BT. I was wondering if anyone here had experience with this set up, as well as bi-amping these speakers with the denon. This amp does have 5 discrete outputs so it could be done, however im not sure if the specs of these outputs would match the speakers or if these speakers would even benefit from bi-amping.
the specs of the denon outputs going to the speakers are below
main(going to woofers) - 70W (8 ohm, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08%, 2ch Drive)
surround(going to tweeter) - 90W (6 ohm, 1 kHz, 0.7%, 2ch Drive)
the specs for the rf-82 II speakers are
8 ohms, 150W RMS / 600W Peak, 98dB @ 2.83V / 1m
frequency response is: 33Hz-24KHz ± 3dB / and the passive crossover is at 1400Hz
what im kind of concerned about bi amping these speakers is that the crossover between the amp and speakers will drop more frequencies between a bad amp and speaker pairing than just using the speakers passive crossover. these speakers seem efficient enough to the point that a low watt amp at 70 would be fine powering both tweeter and woofer pairs on the speaker.
i hope this makes sense. im trying to absorb as much info as i can about audio at this level. thanks
