RMB-1095 - Bi Amp???

[nick.h]

Hi,

Im in the process of purchasing a RMB-1095 for my B&W 803D and HTM2D. Was wondering if I could bi-amp the fronts with the spare 2 channels.

As the amp doesn't support this, I was thinking of using a RCA from my processor and splits into 2 plugs, providing the ability to power 2 channels and then do the same for the other.

What you think?

It's done all the time! The RCA Y might be a weak link though. I've seen some hard y's before. Basically an RCA plug with two female ports. You would go from preamp and one female port, then out of the other port to another input on the amp. That would insure a cheaper Y cable doesn't influence the sound.

Of course keep in mind you're still only sending 200 possible watts to the speakers. Just that the woofers can have a full 200 watts and the mid/tweet can have another full 200 watts. People have had mixed results in the bi-amp department, it's not going to be the same as getting a 400 watt amp.
