hi,

i missed JohnK's post - that's why i deleted the earlier message.

JohnK - your posting reflects the wisdom i've gleaned from the other articles i've read about bi-amping.

to many, it seems to be a "band-aid" design-wise, and i enjoy the comment about the marketing issue.

i have a set of Polk Audio bookshelf speakers that are "bi-amp capable". i have this image of 2 sets of 12 guage wire running into a set of bookshelf speakers. sort of like Tim Allen's "Home Improvement"

i would be re-assigning 1 unused amp from the 7.1 amp and re-directing it to the fronts. this sounds like passive from the above discussion.

other than heating the living room slightly more quickly, it sounds like there is little to be realized.

Thanks,

Elden
