willland Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) is this possible? i want more power to my rf7s!! Just looked up the specs and the answer is no. I personally am in the camp that receiver biamping has no real benefits at all. You have a couple of choices. 1)Another more powerful receiver 2)Another receiver that has multichannel preouts and add outboard amp 3)Preamp/processor and amp combo.

Moderators Youthman Posted June 3, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'm with Bill I'll try Bi-amping and did not hear any difference and sound. If you want more power going to your speakers bottom line is Bill mentioned, either need a beefier receiver or better yet use a power amp. 200 W per channel amp will rock those 7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porn_Star Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 ahh, i haven't done it before, and was hoping that i could. yes, before i asked i googled it, looked at the pdf file, but the one that i found was for a whole handful of receivers, i could not make a definitive yes or no based on what i had seen. i don't think i can go with a different brand receiver, i have heard a few folks around here before. while they did not have 7s, the whole sound was different. this is my third hk receiver and i think i will have to stick with hk. they just seem to sound more warm and deep compared to some of the others. if i use an amp with a hk receiver, will it have the same sound?

Moderators Youthman Posted June 3, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2014 HK makes a fantastic receiver. I went from an Onkyo TX-SR703 to a Yamaha RX-V1800 (because of HDMI & support for HD Audio), to an Emotiva UMC-1 (Separate Pre/Pro...was quirky and I didn't care at all for the EmoQ Calibration Software) to an HK AVR3600 (wanted a receiver that sounded great for both HT and 2ch). Out of those brands, HK had the best sound for 2ch and still provided excellent HT sound. With that said, last night, I decided to list my HK for sale on craigslist as I am wanting to switch to a higher end Onkyo with Audyssey. XT32. I've never owned a receiver with Audyssey so I'm wanting to see what it's all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 but the one that i found was for a whole handful of receivers, i could not make a definitive yes or no based on what i had seen. The way I read it is that group of receivers do not have the biamp capabilities. I could be wrong but I saw no instrucions about biamping in the manual. i don't think i can go with a different brand receiver Understandable. Go with what you know. if i use an amp with a hk receiver, will it have the same sound? It should provided that you find an amplifier with a more neutral sound signature. Some examples of "affordable"(especially used) are Anthem, Acurus(2nd generation), some Parasounds(mosfets), some Adcoms(mosfets), Emotiva, NAD. Some of the models of the amp mfr's may lean to the warm side but most pretty much have a pretty neutral sound. The HK receiver will dictate shaping the sound signature more than an amp will.

Moderators Youthman Posted June 3, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2014 The HK receiver will dictate shaping the sound signature more than an amp will. Correct. With all of my amps I have owned, I did not hear a difference between them. For the most part, they simply amplify the sound that they receiver. There isn't much "colorization" of the sound from the amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
