reynolr Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I have an Onkyo tx-sr607 and ust purchased two rf-52ii's. On my reciever it says that you can use the main L/R and the back surround L/R to do a bi-amp for your mains, then you go into to set-up menu and switch the speakers to bi-amp. Anyways I have read several places that bi-amp doesn't do amything. So I was just wondering if anyone was familiar with this reciever or something that was set up like it, and if doing the bi-amp is beneficial. Also if you use the bi-amp you can only have 5.1, no 7.1 which for me at the moment is okay but I am looking into two more surrounds, unless the bi-amp makes a big enough difference then I'm just fine with a 5.1 and would prolly add another sub for a 5.2. AKA getting another sub instead of the 2 more surrounds. Let me know what you all think and thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reynolr Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 I just looked over the link above, now my question is how do you know if it is active or passive bi-ampping? Again I have an Onkyo tx-sr607 with a bi-amp feature using the back surrounds and main L/R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Active. The Onkyo should give you the option of selecting: 1) relative gains 2) "distance" (time delay) 3) EQ, and 4) crossover frequency for each channel. You should disconnect the midrange-tweeter part of your crossovers from the woofer channels. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 By the way, it would be nice to know your ultimate decision to implement bi-amping and/or your experience--either way.. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynolr Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Sorry I just finally hooked them up last night. I ended up doing the bi-amp, i havnt tried them just regular yet, but I must say I think they sould amazing. When I first turned them on I thought my sub was kicked on, but it wasn't. I had turned everything off and disconnected it to get to the back of the reciever. I was going back and forth between the 52's and 62's but ended up with the 52's since the store I got them from gave me what I considered to be a great deal plus they didn't have any 62's in. Anyways with the way they sound I don't see myself messing with them until I get the itch to expand to the 5.2 or 7.1, for now they are blowing me away. The only thing I need now now is for my center to arrive. They thought they had one in the back but didn't so they lent me the RC-10 I think, it was the match to the RF-10's they had in there small room. It is head over heals better than the Synergy C-1 I had so I'm hoping the RC-52 ii is just another jump up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynolr Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 And i havn't calibrated them either, I am waiting for tomorrow when the center comes in to run my mic thing that came with my reciever. So there is just one more thing that I believe will make it sound better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Its good to see that someone actually cares to try out the biamping function . You should yield much better depth, punch and imaging from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
