dad311 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I currently have my front mains bi-amp with an Interga reciever. This week I bought an Emotiva XPA-5 and need some advice on speaker configuration. Should I run all 5 of my speakers off the new AMP or is it better (or even possible) to keep my front mains bi-amped and my srounds hooked to the reciever? If it is possible to keep my front mains bi-amped, how would I do this with an external reciever. Im guessing I would need some type of "Y" cable for the pre-outs, but I really have no idea. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesV Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Like everything the sound is really left up to the person, does it sound better bi-amped or not. I believe that you are bi-wiring in the current setup. I will look for the comments from Klipsch about bi-wiring and bi-amping and post them for you.

dad311 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 Yes, I am bi-amping. I have a 7.1 reciever that allows the fronts to be bi-amped if im only using 5.1. Dont know if I really buy into the whole bi-wiring thing. Sounds like spliting hairs to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
