receiver has one amplifier with seven channels of output transistors, not seven separate amplifiers Thats interesting. I was given to understand that more of the newer receiver were using separate amp channels. Is that simply marketing spin on output transistors or am I completely mistaken?

Hi fredk,
I think there may be some very expensive AV receivers that have independent power supplies for at least two channels, maybe three. I have not researched this. The brands that come to mind are B&K, Rotel and MacIntosh.

Nice article.
A quote from the article you linked to:
"The most common question I get is ...
"Do I need to disconnect the passive crossover in my speakers?"
The answer is ... Yes, otherwise you are not really biamping at all."
This why we say you are not Bi-Amping at all. The process of removing the shunt bars on the back of the speaker terminals and then running the amps with the passive crossovers still in use but split appears to called passive biamping by many.

Yep Jay, removing the clips with the passive crossovers still in place is not true bi-amping, ya got that right. Here is a good article. BiAmping Pleasure or Pain

*click* It finally makes sense. Thanks guys. I could never understand why Bi-Amping didn't make things better.
