jhvenier Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I was wondering if it was possible to use the FR and FL connections on my Denon and still use the Front preouts at the same time? I have an 2 channel amp pushing my 83's, which come from the Denon pre-outs. I picked up a pair of RF-3's this past weekend and was wondering if I could still use the FR and FL outputs from the Denon. Thoughts were since the 83's were already thru an amp, could I biamp the RF-3's using the SB amp, which is not used at this time + the Fronts amp? Otherwise I have to turn the amp way down for the 83's to get the sound from the RF-3's, which are at this time hooked up to the surround A/B connections.

Schu Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I tried that with my amp... pioneer, and it didnt work well. what does work well for me is the A/B two zone set up in stereo mode. with CW's on the main A and heresys on zone B level seems perfect as well as balance, I am very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Connecting to the Pre Outs usually disables the corresponding Speaker Outs. As another poster mentioned, you could try the B Speaker Outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 20, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2011 I use a Yamaha Rx V630, I use the A pre-outs for one set of speakers and A on the HT L & R speakers also. There is A and B buttons, my Ht is on A and the pre outs, when I press A the front HT speakers play at the same time the 2 CH on the pre-outs play. I just use the A button to turn off the Ht speakers to play 2 ch, or turn off the 2 ch amps and press the A button for the HT speakers, or both together. I think I confused myself [:S].............on that receiver the pre-outs play at the same time as the main connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivadselim Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I was wondering if it was possible to use the FR and FL connections on my Denon and still use the Front preouts at the same time?Yes, it's fine. Connecting to the Pre Outs usually disables the corresponding Speaker Outs. No, they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have an option to use Speaker A and Speaker B as fronts depending upon the Denon receiver. If you do have 'Speaker A & Speaker B', 99% you will have an option to bi-amp fronts using A&B. As mentioned by another forum member, some models does output amplifier channels and pre-out simultaneously. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
