Hi all, I am seeking opinions on whether it would be possible with my setup to biamp my front speakers. this is a difficult one (for me anyway)
I have a Sony Tan 9000es 5 channel amp (set in 5 channel mode which gives approx 115 watts x 5 @ 4 ohm setting)
I also own a Marantz Sr 8200 receiver (120watts x 6) and I use this as a processor only.
My Front speakers are Australian made Accusound DL860's rated at 125watt @6ohms and 90db.
I currently run the Sony amp in 4 ohm mode to 5 speakers because my front speakers are rated below 8 ohms.
What i need to know is can I bi amp my front 2 speakers by connecting the Marantz 8200 (rated @ 6-8ohms)to the front speaker tweeters in addition to the already connected Sony amp (which could then power only the woofers)
To get to the point what I need to know is, "will the different ohm settings on the amplifier and receiver cause a problem when powering my speakers in a bi amp arrangement." eg blow a speaker or amp?
As I am sure you can tell it gets a little confusing with different units at different settings or ratings and any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks Peter
