    Bi-amping Pr@ style

    Ok so now that I've got the Samson S1 powering my IB sub I had two free channels on the HK power amp not doing anything so I did some swapping around and moved the side speakers onto the HK so that I had two extra channels available on the Rotel 1075 amplifer. I then purchased two of these Y adapters from Radio Shack and proceeded to use two SilverCat interconnects per speaker to wire them up. I shouldn't loose any fidelity wireing them up this way as apposed to the cheaper Y adpaters you more commonly see and I had a pair of silvercat IC's in my parts box not being used anyway:yesnod:

    I really haven't given the system a good work out just yet with the new arrangement but initial impressions are possitive. I'll try and report back if I hear any real differences later but given I had the amp channels available anyway I might as well use them...and besides it'll delay my thirst for the 1080 power amp :W

    I have tried those Radio Shack Y-adadpters.. they work great. I used them to hook the outs of the HT to the stereo upstairs. Now the entire house has to rock to my tunes!

        They aren't that expensive either at $8.99 cdn each...the el cheapo's are $6.99 so its an easy choice to step up to the much higher quality ones...like most decent RS RCA cables though they bite hard..which is good to a point but be carefull when you remove them.

        You'll love the Zone 2 opperation of the 1098 then :W

            HCA 2003 vs HCA 1206 Biamping?
            by Ossi
            I currently have a HCA 2003 that I am using since some years already for the front 3 channels in my system. As I us this system for stereo listening as well, I though of going biamping as my speaker offer this approach. So I though of selling die HCA 2003 and buy a HCA 1206.
            From experience...

            Combined Internal and External Biamping
            by mijotu
            [First, forgive me if I am in the incorrect forum for this, my first question. I will take note if this post is moved such to avoid future errors.]

            I have a Pioneer BSX-72TXV as well as an Arcam AVR300 receiver. I am interested in using my Arcam as an external amp for my L-C-R channels,...

            Biamping with RMB-1075?
            by jorgjean
            I'am planning to bi-amp my speakers KEF XQ5. They would receive power from an RMB-1075. Has anybody got experience with this vertical biamping. Will there be differences in the output level of low-and high frequencies as the resistance will be different?

            How about linking 2 Channels to...

            RSP-1068 + Bi-amp front channels
            by 5.0greg
            I've got a 1068 and recently picked up a Anthem PVA 7. I'm looking into biamping my front channels with the left over surround channels since I won't be using a 7.1 setup.

            Does anyone know if the outputs on the 1068 are assignable?

            Powering three channels
            by kuon
            Hello,

            I'm about to buy the following combo:

            RSP-1570 + RB-1582 + CM9

            for stereo.

            Now, this winter (early next year), I will be able to afford a pair of cm8 and a cm center.

            What I am wondering, is what would be the best combo...
