    Best HT hookup for two 2-ch power amps?

    I have two, 2-ch power amps that I'm using for my fronts and center channel. That leaves me one channel that I have not been using. Lately I've thought to put it to use driving a second subwoofer (the sub already in use is self-powered).

    I have the front L/R connected to one amp, and the center channel to the 2nd amp leaving the unused channel. Since the center channel and sub may well be the most demanding, do you think it is a big deal to run both these from the same amp, or would it be better to run say, the left front and center on one amp and the right front and sub on the other amp?

    The amps are both Yamaha M-80's, if it matters towards the opinions.

    Thanks,
    Todd

      I would run the mains off one amp and the center and sub off the other. I don't see any problems there.

          Bi-amp Center channel
          by RobP
          Anyone here bi-amping their center channel? If so did you notice any difference? I have an extra channel on my center channel amp and have been thinking about giving it a try.

          Center Channel conundrum....
          by sal1k
          After having set up my new "toys" (Rotel RSX-1550 receiver, and B&W CM9 pair, and a Panasonic 50" Plasma) last week. I am wondering if there's a way to have the internal speakers of the Panaconic Plasma be the "Center" channel, and the CM9's be true Left and rights.

          Question about Center Channel
          by spykids777
          Hi,

          I recently purchased the 803D speakers as my main. I also purchased the HTM4d as my center channel. I was told by the B&W technical people that those two should "timber match". Also the other reason why I purchased the HTM4d is because it sits on a 11" deep mantle....

          Bi-Amp Center Channel?
          by gostan
          I will be re-connecting all of my speakers with new upgraded speaker cable today or tomorrow. Now my system upgrades are almost complete. Except for a desire to change a few interconnects, the main weakness in my system is that I am still using a Rotel 1075 5 channel amp to power my rear 805's, a...

          Have a terrific system running and I love my gear. I have Rotel RSP-1066 pre/pro, RMB 1075 amp, B&W CDM7NT's Front L/R, CDMCNT center, ASWCDM sub, CDM1NT L/R rear on stands. I also have a CD and DVD player. This is the set up I have in the den. We put our old, inexpensive, bookshelf speakers in...
