Moderators Youthman Posted December 10, 2008 Moderators Share Posted December 10, 2008 i hjave been reading several posts about bi-amping....should i bi-amp the f-1? Without going into full detail, unless you have an active crossover, I do not believe you will hear any significant difference with "fools" biamping. I just tried this for myself with my RF-83's and my Yamaha RX-V1800 and I do not hear any difference between the two. By all means, you are welcome to give it a shot. I had to find out for myself.

shortstack31489 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 well i am not using my rear surrounds so i may give it a whirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmk Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 well i am not using my rear surrounds so i may give it a whirl Whoa!!!!!!!! If I am understanding this correctly, you will be feeding 1/2 of your speaker from the front channel and 1/2 from the rear surrounds? Two very diffenent audio signals. I strongly suspect you will be very dissappointed. Very little information is goes to the rear surround speakers, and it is not the same audio information going to your front speakers. I don't think you will be happy. Doug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Uhhhh, I guess you're receiver isn't capable of this? [*-)] On most 7.1 receivers, if you don't have rear surrounds, you can bi amp your mains. You run wire from teh rear surrounds output to the mains. THEN, you go into your setup menu, and click on rear surrounds, and set them to BI-AMPED. Then, the wattage that was going to yoru rear surrounds goes to yoru mains; not in the format of surround, but main channels................

shortstack31489 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 yea my receiver specifically says it can be accomplished...i just have to go into the settings and tell it that my front are bi-amped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Let us know what you think after you do it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack31489 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 should i try both options or should i just strat with bi-amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I say just start with bi amp; but you won't have anything to compare it to. I just bi amped mine last week, and take my word for it, it made a difference! But if you want a "before and after", then try it both ways.........

Moderators Youthman Posted December 11, 2008 Moderators Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hook it up regular and listen to a few songs several times. Then bi-amp and listen again. Tell us what you hear. I heard absolutely no difference when I bi-amped my RF-83's with my Yamaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
