boston_klipsch Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hello Can anyone in here please give me advise on how to BiAmp for the LF and HF on the RF-7 I have the Harman Kardon Signature 2.1 5 channel power AMP rated 100 watts per channels - Do I remove or leave jumper cables between HF and LF ? - Can someone please tell me where i can buy the gold plated jumper between LF and HF on the back of my RB-5 II bookshelf speaker. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'm far from the expert but isn't bi-amping when you use two amps, one for the low frequencies and one for the high? If so the jumpers must be removed. Also the flat metal jumpers can be substituted with two ordinary very short speaker cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 To bi-AMP you will need two identical amplifiers, one amplifying only the woofers, one amplifying only the tweeters. To bi-WIRE you need to remove the jumpers connecting LF and HF. Connect two wires to each output on your receiver. Then connect one to the positive HF, positive LF, negative HF, negative LF. You can call Klipsch and the parts department should be able to get you the jumpers for your RB-5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockbobmel Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I tried it with two different Rotel power amps. a 200wpc for lows and a 65wpc for highs. The highs had a vol control so I could blend. I ended up changing back to just one 200 wpc power amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Flynn Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Being a former user of tri amping for rock band PA systems; I just do not see it for 2 channel. Get one good amp and call it a day; let the speaker network do its job. Try tubes inexpensively in the form of a properly updated vintage Scott, Fisher, Pilot or other integrated amp or reciever.
