I was planning on using an RSX1057 as a processor with an RMB1077 hooked up to a pair of B&W 804s and a HTM3s. Orignally I thought I would biamp and biwire the L and R fronts using 4 channels of the RMB1077 while using the remaining 3 channels to drive the center and back surrounds.
Then I started thinking that since the center channel is so important, and the HTM3s is such a close match to the 804s it might be better to biamp and biwire the entire front end using 6 of the RMB1077 channels, and use the RSX1057 to power the rear surrounds.
I still think the first setup would be best since having the L and R fronts biamped and biwired would have more power for HT and 2 channel both. I also like the fact that the center and rear surrounds are being pushed by the same identical amp signal, and I could upgrade to one of the new Rotel processors when they are released. I guess it basically comes down to how the center would sound in either case.
Opinions would be appreciated, Thanks, Ed ;x(
