Bi-amping with a receiver

 

Anonymous
 
Has anyone ever tried to bi-amp with an AV receiver? My NAD has pre-outs so i think it would, in theory, work with my speakers which are bi-ampable.

My only hesitation is my receiver's manual says "Never connect speaker outputs and the speaker outputs of an external amplifier to the same speakers"

Clarify please.
You have 2 amps currently in your possession, correct?

I am considering purchasing a second stereo amplifier, but for arguments sake, lets say yes i own a second amp with identical gain to my receiver

I think he means he's got an amp in his receiver and a seperate amp and he wants to use both.

I'm curious myself...

Thanks however the article only covers biamping with 2 external amps, this i know how to do, my question is if the NAD sends equal signal to the preouts and amped outs, if so I'd like to use a seperate for the low freq, the AVR for the mids and high.

Has anyone tried this?

No such luck, anon, you have to choose between line out and speaker level out, unless you are willing to open the cover.

Keep it as simple as you can. No need to make it more complicated than it needs to be just because you think it may give an iota of benefit.

Yea, "pre-outs" by definition send the signal out before it gets to the amp.
