I want to use an RMB-1075 in a bi-amp configuration to drive my center front and center back speakers. The speakers are Polk CSi40s and they have two sets of terminals, so they are bi-amp/bi-wire capable. My receiver is an RSX-1055.
The RSX-1055 has two center channel pre-amp outputs (CTR1 and CTR2) and two center back channel pre-amp outputs (CB1 and CB2). The owner's manual for the RSX-1055 says that if you're using one speaker, you should use the CTR1 and CB1 outputs
Which the better/smarter way to connect the RSX-1055 to the RMB-1075?
A. Use ONE pre-amp output (CTR1, for example) and a Y-cable to go between the RSX-1055 and two of the RMB-1075 inputs
OR
B. Use separate patch cords for CTR1 and CTR2 outputs to go to two of the RMB-1075 inputs
Obviously, i'd do the same thing for the center back speaker. I'm just not sure if one method is preferrable. Thanks, folks.
