Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners bi amping with marantz sr-6300

You can post links if you like. As Ken says it is doubtful that you would hear any difference at all with passive biamping. IMO it is a waste of hard earned money.

You both type to fast for me, I beat out x2.

lol OK! just making sure

AFAIK, the impedence of the speaker doesn't change when you biamp; especially since the internal crossover is not being bypassed. Also, your Marantz can probably handle a 4 ohm load (should you with to throw M80s at it); it's a well made receiver, probably not marked for 4 ohms due to regulatory hurdles.

What was that Cheap Trick song Ken used to love back in the good ole days?

"The link police
They live inside of my head
The link police
They come to me in my bed

The link police
They're coming to arrest me
Oh no "

You are correct Ken, it does not change the impedence. There is no real benifit in doing this.

wow that burst my bubble. GD it all! It really wouldn't make a difference eh? Or would i have to bypass the internal crossover? I guess if i want more power then i'll have to buy BIG.

Well, if you want more power, you'd just mono-amp (to coin a phrase) with a big power amp. Such a Halo, Outlaw Audio, Rotel, Odyssy Stratos, or other, to name a few. Arr, the cliches be flyin'!

Biamping doesn't add power at all. It just (theoretically) lets you match amplifiers with individual drivers... if you have an external crossover between the amps.

How big is your room man, those 60's will rock your world if you give them the juice..

you'll laugh but i'm in an apt, been saving for a house and i want my toys and all the headroom i can get before i commit to the house thing. i figure the posts are there for a reason.
